There is a Custom Cable Interface for all of the IN's and OUT's to and from the pedalboard.

The Wireless IN is normalized to the GUITAR OUT until a Guitar Cable is inserted into the WIRE input... at that point, the Wireless receiver is disconnected and the Cable feeds the Tuner/ Wah.

The Roland^© GA-FC Foot-Controller is modified with a 1/4" jack to allow connection of an external footswitch to turn on the Boost and Delay blocks simultaneously.
