Regardless of which of the available pickup configurations you choose, they all punch well above their weight with a string-to-string evenness due to being designed around their large 9. When paired with most Line 6 guitar amplifiers, the footswitches also give you total control of Quick Loop, the amps' built-in 14-second sound-on-sound looper. Totally geeked at this point, I outstretched my hands as if awaiting the gifting of a bazillion dollars.

When using both at the same time, the two signals are mixed and the voltage range produced by the expression pedal is halved to ensure the output stays within a usable range of +/-5v to 0-10v.
