4 CABLE METHOD Tutorial with a Plethora X5 | Deep Dive

The 4 cable method interconnects your effects loop equipped multifx unit and your amplifier in a way that allows you to choose which effects come before the pre-amp, and which effects come after.
But depending on your amp, this might not be the best idea for you. In this deep dive tutorial, we pick up a TC Electronic Plethora X5, a Marshall Origin 20H, and a Boss Katana, find out how they sound in 4 cable method, and show you a different way of connecting it while keeping your rig as flexible as possible.
