The Main Outputs can be sent as dual 1/4" or dual XLR, carrying a full stereo signal. They can be connected to a DAW or PA, as well as the effects loop return of a guitar amp, or the input of a dedicated power amp.

Monitor Out is similar to the Main Outs, but it is a single 1/4" connection, capable of only carrying mono audio. It can be used to connect to a stage monitor, or it can carry a different tone than the Main Outs by changing the [[#Output Settings|output settings]]. It also has an option to disable the Cab block, which lets you use this output through a guitar amp and cab.

The SPDIF output is useful to connect to a DAW. It avoids unnecessary additional D>A and A>D conversions, potentially improving tone.

The Headphones output is on the front of the unit. It is similar to the Main Outs but designed for headphone levels. There is also a Headphone Space setting that only applies to it, intended to add a reverb/reflection type effect that may feel lacking when using headphones compared to open air speakers.

The Direct Out/Send output is a 1/4" out whose function depends on rig settings. It can function as a direct out (DO) for making a DI track for reamping. Or it can be used as the effects loop send. Or in Profiling Mode, it is used to feed the real amp's input.
