The melody side comes in channel one and goes through a compressor plugin and then into a Guitar Rig 4 plugin. This is sent out to the main 1 and 2 outputs. I also have a reverb and delay effect channels that this signal can be routed to, which also goes out the main 1 and 2 outputs. There is an IK Multimedia Brickwall limiter on these outputs. I try not to hit the limiter very much, or at all.
