  • Effects Loop?

    What exactly does this do?

    Is it like a bypass?

    I have one on my Fender Roc Pro 1000.

    It lets you put things after the preamp (usually the 12AX7 tubes on a tube amp) and power amp (the other tubes on a tube amp).

    Some effects don't like to go through the initial gain stage (preamp) of your amp. In other words, delay, chorus and such like to repeat the sound after it's been colored, not delay or chorus first then distort. Sounds less crappy that way.

      So could I use this with my Pod 2.0 and bypass for the rectifier sound?

      I really like the way it sounds when i use the pod 2.0 on my pc.

        Yup, it should work like that (but I have never had an FX loop that I actually used).

          Yeah, you should be fine. I thought the loop was excellent on my old Roc Pro 1000.

            just plug the POD into the return of the loop and you're all set. just turn off the cab simulators.
