No effects loop? Has anyone put a reverb pedal in front of it? Did it sound OK doing so?

No effects loop on this one... However reverb or delay sounds just fine infront. it's not an "AMAZING" amp. but value for money, it's worth every penny in my mind. You get a true valve breaking in the comfort of your home or even a small gig (if you've got the suited cabinet for the event) Another thing I found (maybe you'll relate), is that you'll need to put a gate pedal on it, as it gets a bit dirty (of course depending on your used gear and all..) Hope this been helpful, Cheers and ROCK ON!

Effects sound ok if you run the amp clean. If you use the amp gain it gets too muddy. There is not much clean volume either so keep that in mind.

I've put all kinds of pedals in front of it. Reverb sounds ok. I don't hate this amp as much as when I first got it, but still long way from a favorite.

The effects pedal does NOT have a spring in it. That allows you to set variables (freq,, repeats, speeds) for the different voicings and effects. It is how it should be. You wouldn't want to be performing and have to concentrate on continually resetting your effects pedal.

I have a Bass Guitar too, but I never thought to use it whit bass.I don't know if it makes a good work because all the effects are tuned for the guitar's audio spectrum.In fact there is a Zoom for Basses.But I can try an tell you the results........Out of curiosity I've tried with my bass, but as espected, the effects more frequency dependent like the wah-wah work really bad, the less dependent like the delay work better.There is the Bass counterpart of this pedal effect: Zoom B1 Bass Multi Effects PedalIt's quite better ti take it.

I love the shimmer effect but it can be hard to use. There's often times a hash clipping on the reverb if you play a really harsh note all of a sudden. Really depends on what type of playing you're looking to use it for.

Better yet sign up for thegearpage.net if you aren't and ask the question in the Effects & Pedals thread -- those guys have every pedal known on earth and someone will answer you quick. It's free. I'd do this before ANYTHING else.

This amp has loop effects, send and return, so you can use it pluggin in the last position of chain of pedal effects. But sure, the tone will change a little like chorus if you get drive or distortion, but in clean it is ok.

For the longest time I only used fx and sidestepped the amp and cab modeling. And I did it by plugging straight in front of the amp. No fx loop needed.

If you want the effects on the loop, put it after the fx pedal - it just records whatever you send it - so you could record a loop with effects & then play over it clean, or vice-versa

I have had good success doing what you are thinking of doing. No you're not going to get Marshall sound from your solid body electric ( Ibanez Les Paul copy) but run a decent effects pedal through the EFX loop (I use 2nd channel for this) on the back of the amp and you'll get a good electric sound from clean to fuzz to everything in between. I have a LR Baggs M80A magnetic pickup on my Santa Cruz OM and plug that into the first channel. I'm happy with the results.

Does not have reverb. That is my one big knock. I'm waiting for them to come to their senses and add that one small thing. I would purchase again and repurpose the other.

Perhaps I'm too old and slow on the trigger, but I've had some trouble setting up a loop on the pedal and then to playing over it in a professional way. Years ago, I had another brand that worked for me, but it picked up, probably an op amp, distortion making it only useful for hard rock. I suspect there is an ideal pedal out there for me, but I can't afford to buy them all and shake them down.

I have this placed after my tuner and it feeds directly in to the rack effect unit that I control through a midi-pedal board. I ran into some cracking noise that was attributed to my cable which was old. Try arranging your pedals but keep in mind that distortion would have an affect on the output.

ive experimented with running my mic through my pedal board for recording and it seemed to work fine however I prefer to use the reverb settings from the recording program. I cant see why it wouldnt work live but like the other guy said, you would need to use 1/4'' cable for your microphone.

I have not had any issues with mine. Some folks reported issues with buzzing, but was related to the speaker not being tightened down correctly. Buzzing without your bass plugged in sounds like a ground loop problem. Have you tried powering it from a filtered source? (I use a Furman PL-8 which was already inmy guitar rack)

You still need to run it off a pa or an amp. I think it does have an effects channel, but I think the effect needs to be external.

The lead side had a pre gain and a post gain..either can be used as a volume control... If unwanted a dirty sound..turn up the pre gain and turn down the post gain... For a clean sound, reverse it.. The boost knob is great..it works regardless of what channel ur in.. Get the footswitch..the button on the right controls the boost...i think its labeled effects.. Good luck!

Really, nothing. The point is that you no longer need effects pedals. The other plus is the Bluetooth function. It's a multi-tasker: an amp and an Bluetooth speaker. I usually jam along with songs from my iPhone. I have a couple of tones I downloaded that I use 99% of the time. (You can program your own if that's your thing but I'm not interested in fooling with that.) Great little practice amp.
