By plugging your guitar directly into the effects return you bypass the preamp. This gives you untouched amplification as your guitar signal is no longer being affected by the gain or EQ structures within the preamp. Perhaps you want a small amp tone with large amp power. Well, if you connect the effects send from one amp and to the effects return of another then you take the preamp tones from the small amp and put them through the power section of a much more powerful amp.
Just remember that any valve amp in this situation needs to have a cabinet attached. Well, hopefully, that demystified the effects loop for you. If your amp has an effects loop, and you have a few extra instrument cables lying around, plug in and start experimenting. Find what works best for your sound and your setup. Do you use the effects loop in your setup?
If so, share your experiences in the comments below and let others know what you think. Hi, your site is really useful. However, I really like playing in stereo which is causing some difficulties. Using a Boss me 50 multi effects pedal in stereo sounds great. The problem comes in when I want to add another stereo effect with the Boss multi. I m thinking the solution is going to be something very simple or very involved.
Thanks for any help you can offer. Thanks- Rick from Jersey. Hey Rick, Thanks for the kind words and I would be happy to help. This is where the FX loop on the back of your amplifier comes into play. If used correctly, this results in a much more focused and cleaner tone. Listen to the following audio examples.
In these examples, the distortion channel has been selected on the amp. Therefore, the distortion will sound different here than it did the two previous examples.
I hope you found this Blog entry useful and please come back often to find more tips and tricks, as well as the latest in pedal-related news. I guess I was right for the most part. Thank you for the post and diagram! Now that I am home from Covid19 shizzle, I have some time to tinker. You can still create a chain with other effects between your guitar and the amp.
Like always, keep an eye on your levels while you're playing. If the levels of your amp and your effects pedals don't line up — even when they're connected in an effects loop — you'll get a less-than-ideal sound. Now that you know the basic concept of an effects loop, go experiment! The type of sound you create is up to you. What one guitarist thinks sounds great, another may not like. Let your creativity run wild while you're creating a sound that's all your own.

If you did the same thing with an effects loop because you want to use the amp for distortion, it would look like this.
Tread with caution as you could end up breaking your amp completely. Generally speaking, delay comes first and then reverb. That way the delay repeats will also be covered in that lovely reverb but still be clear enough to be heard. The other way around will mean that the delay repeats your reverberated sound.
This could create a cool effect but certainly not the most versatile. You must be logged in to post a comment.
