c. CONNECTING AMPLIFIERS
’
EFFECTS LOOP
There are three important steps to connecting to your
amplifier’s
effects loop.
The best way I find to explain this is to think of your
amps’
preamp as another pedal. Your preamp is connected
to your amps power section and this is where the amps FX LOOP sits, between the preamp and power amp.
a.
First select a G3 loop to connect with your amps FX loop. In the diagram above, loops 1-4 are placed
before the pre amp, loop 5 contains the pre amp and loops 6-12 are placed inside the FX loop (note -
any loop can be selected).
b.
Connect the SEND from the chosen G3 effects loop to the input of the amplifier. The connections
needed to achieve this are:
c.
G3 Loop 5 SEND to AMP INPUT.
d.
AMP FX Loop SEND to G3 Loop 5 RETURN.
e.
G3 Atom Output 1 to AMP FX Loop RETURN.
f.
As the amp
’
s pre-amp is contained within Loop 5, this needs to be engaged on all presets.
