Sorry for the stupid question, but can you explain what you mean about the output being TRS to an idiot who is new to playing with effects and doesn't want to blow his rig up? =)

A standard mono instrument cable is comprised of Tip & Sleeve, a stereo cable is comprised of Tip, Ring & Sleeve. In this particular application, you can send different signals from the pedal to each part of the jack plug (with the exception of Sleeve which is always ground). And so, if you connect a standard mono instrument cable to this Meatbox, you'll get the effected signal to your amp, the Octave/dry signal is blendable via the Octave control. If you connect an 'insert cable' (google it), which is a stereo jack to 2x mono jacks, you can separate out the Wet (effected) signal, from a Dry (bass) signal. This is helpful for the meat box because it means you can send the dry signal to your amp and the effected signal to the PA (via a DI box as usual). Gives you the sub through the PA without destroying your amp
