So if one assumes that all amps are equal in quality, the Tape Cue send should actually be better. The Tape Cue signals each go through their own fader and then through a single amplification stage. It looks as though the effects send for each track goes back through the EQ and input fader, then the effects send fader, then through the Effect Master fader (and 2 amp stages here, one on each side of the fader).

Q: Why does the cue mix sound decidedly worse in your 'phones than the main bus? Will this poorer quality show through when you feed it thru to your effects device using the method described above?Р”Р„: A very good question, which I am looking at the flow diagram on page 41 (inside back cover) to answer. This also preserves the stereo imaging of both effects. The Q2 processes both FX sends separately and mixes them at its output I use one side (generally the original Effects Send) for reverb and the other (the Cue Out) for 'special' effects such as flanging or delay added at mixdown time. I do all this using my Quadraverb 2 with a single return cable going to Line 5-6, which leaves me Line 7-8 for my MIDI sound input. Listen carefully to whatever you hook up to these inputs, and remember they're not quite interchangeable!

Note carefully the paragraph in bold at the left bottom of manual page 30, as the left and right stereo inputs reverse the polarity of their tip/ring connections. Now your Tape Cue pots control the level of the 'FX send' to the 2nd FX unit, and the Line 5-6 pot controls the return level. The other 1/4' plug will connect to the input of your second FX unit, and the stereo output of that 2nd FX unit would go to the left stereo input jack (marked Line 5-6) via yet another TRS cable. Now one of the 1/4' plugs - the one connected to the tip of the TRS plug - will go to your first FX unit as before. To hook this up, put the TRS plug into the Effects Send jack. It describes the 'hidden' extra FX send controllable through the Cue Out controls. Now, see the paragraph 'CUE OUT feature' on the right side of the Portastudio Brief Guide (a foldout that's attached to manual page 13). By the way, TRS stands for 'tip/ring/sleeve' which is jargon for the appropriate parts of the 3-conductor plug, starting at the pointy end and working back. It's just a 3-conductor 'stereo headphone plug' which connects to two separate 1/4' plugs (Hosa makes half-decent ones). the input to the FX is the effect send jack, and the output from the FX goes to the right stereo input jack (Line 7-8) with a TRS insert-type cable, an illustration of which can be seen on the right side of page 39.
