FX LOOPS ON AMPLIFIERS
In Setup 4 we are utilising the FX loop in the amp by running
OUT-2 into the amp input, then returning the signal to the OC
10 via the FX loop send to IN 8, the signal is then run through
loops 8 and 9 and returned to the amp FX return via OUT9
(N.O)
In most cases the effects loop of an amplifier is used to run
Time based FX such as Delay, Echo and Reverb, and Modu-
lation FX such as Chorus, Flangers and Pitch Shifters.
Primarily this is done to avoid distorting or driving the sound
created by these pedals by the preamp of the amplifier where
all the drive and distortion is created in an amplifier, this is
achieved by running the FX loop after the preamp stage of
any amplifier thus bypassing the drive stage and unwanted
distortion.
