Compact
The {{{TCH}}} has two outputs available (Vocal and Guitar) but I choose the LEFT output and run MONO so that I can make the connection with one cable. I don't use Compact Channel 1 when I'm using the {{{TCH}}}.
I prefer to use an adapter (XLR to ¼ inch jack) from the {{{TCH}}} left out - to Compact Channel 2. That way you don't have to work around the {{{L1}}}'s internal microphone Preset.

There's MIX button on the {{{TCH}}} that brings up a screen where it's easy to control the relative volumes (voice and guitar) on the {{{TCH}}} so I don't have to touch the Compact once I'm set up. And it's nice to use just one cable from the {{{TCH}}} to the {{{L1}}}. This also keeps the Compact Channel 1 free in case I need to plug in another microphone.
I use an adapter like this {{#img: image=NeutrikNA3FJ.jpg |page=http://www.audiopile.net/products/Adaptors_Connectors/NEUTRIK/NA3FJ/NA3FJ_cutsheet.shtml%7C width=300px |title=NA3FJ Neutrik 3 Pin XLR Female to 1/4" TRS Female Locking Barrel Adapter}}
