The following diagram shows the order in which they are connected.

Understanding how these components alter the sound, and how each parameter alters the effect, will help you achieve the sound you are looking for. The following overview of the RP150's effects outlines what each effect and parameter does.

This gives you the best of both worlds without having to change guitars during a performance. Pickup Model - Knob 1 selects the Pickup model to be simulated.
