**Product:**  
[Which product is this for: Tonex Board  
**Summary:**  
**The TONEX Board now provides a way to get cab and no-cab destinations using Path B, but doing so requires splitting the processing chain and substantially reduces the available serial effect slots. The simpler solution would be a Global Cab Bypass option for physical Outputs 3/4.**

**Problem / Use Case:**  
Many guitarists need to run the TONEX Board to **FOH and a real guitar cabinet simultaneously**. FOH needs cabinet simulation, while a power amp feeding a traditional guitar cabinet needs the cabinet simulation disabled.

Currently, the TONEX Board requires using **Path B** to achieve the no-cab output. This forces the user to split the signal chain simply for output routing, significantly reducing the number of available effect slots.

**Proposed Solution:**  
The desired setup is simple:

**Outputs 1/2 → FOH → Cab Sim ON**  
**Outputs 3/4 → Power Amp + Guitar Cab → Cab Sim OFF**  
This is important because users shouldn’t have to sacrifice effect slots or create a second processing path just to send the same rig to two different types of amplification

**Priority / Impact:**
