QR fx loop...someone enlighten me

[shreder75]

I have a pretty spartan fx collection...I have one pedal..BAM! that's it baby...lol...a guyatone md3 delay pedal...and I borrow my buddy's crybaby...

anywho, most I've talked to who have a pedal like this or the same exact pedal say that they run it in the fx loop..from what I understand, the splawns have two different options on the fx loop..one for pedal type thigns, one for rack type things..

so, let's say that I run the pedal in the fx loop..my amp now has a switchable fx loop...far as I know, the splawns don't...I guess I just turn off the pedal and that's that? I'm curious if that'll color the tone at all...

help?

Good question Shredder. That is how I use the loop in my Rivera KHR because I try not to use the monster footswitch pedal they require for those amps. Plus I use digital delay, analog delay, pitch shifter, and chorus in the loop and I don't want all on at once so I just leave the loop on an use the pedals switches on my pedal board. It doesn't affect the tone in that amp but some amps I hear sound worse with the loop on.

cool, that kinda helps me..cause I've heard it mentioned on here that the fx loop on teh QR is handled really well....so maybe it'll be like your Rivera..

Yeah I think if it is a well built hand-wired amp it should not be a problem. I wouldn't trust it with a production line amp IMO.
