I am considering this for a bass rig, but my Ampeg SVT-CL doesn't have an effects loop. Does this unit need to be in an effects loop to function?

The maxcom is best for vocals an controlling a mix which I use it for. You can use it for bass. Connect bass to MaxCom channel side line in 1 or 2 then to amp, if your running effects already make sure the maxcom is the last unit before amp. As a long time bassist if you have a compressor stick with that and go with the BBE 482 Sonic Maximizer to shape your sound that would be a better choice for bassist and guitarists.. Good Luck

The unit is designed for line or Mic level processing so you may lose a little high end if you don't run a direct box front of it... with that being said i have run a guitar directly into it and out to a USB XLR link for recording and had good results.

This unit is setup as a mix of wet and dry. I don't think you can send a wet only feed back to a mixer. This is designed to be an end processor after mixer before recorder.

The effect would would be connected to the loop ie out to the in and in to the out of the pedal and amp the stereo switch controls the channels on the amp,the volume on the clean channel i assume is used for the effect pedal and you also control the volume on the pedal by the volume or gain knobs on the effect pedal.I hope this will help.

Hello, the answers to your questions (in same order) are "yes" and "no", you don't need a extra buffered pedal because all boss units (stompboxes or multi-fx) has buffered bypass. On this post ( http://www.bossus.com/boss_users_group/article.php?ArticleId=1633 ) they say "All Boss pedals are buffered" and this apply not only to stompboxes. And remember this, buffered bypass on the ME-70 is active when you don't set on any of fx or pre-amp module, or when you press the pedals N 2 & 3 (tunner/bypass). I have one ME-70 and I am talking on my personal experience with this exceptional and flexible unit. hope that information will be usefull for you. God Bless You

I don't really use the effects. I have tried them and that is the weakest part of the mixer. Even turned up all the way, it is hard to tell what the effect is. The manual does not help either, doesn't really tell much about wiring the effects loop either. I just use it for DJ work, playing music and with one microphone for talking. It has plenty of power and the eq works well.

I'm afraid I can be much help. I have a stomp pedal and use it exclusively. Just haven't been able to learn more than the basics on this unit. The disc they send you provides you with uses and effects of all knobs. But they seem to assume you know all about basic amp operation. Unfortunately I don't so with out the stomp box I would have been very disappointed when first trying to use it. Good Luck !!!

Yes, a looper like the Ditto x 2 comes after any stompboxes and just before input into your amp, so it is independant and unaffected by amp type.Can it be used in an amp effects loop is a good question though. I would say not, better to remain out in front of amp and after effects.

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.

You can access all effects and amp modeling but of course having a footswitch to change patches is a great value. One thing you can't do from the amp is access the looper. This looper is a great effect to use, just try it a while to get used to how it works and you can layer tracks in no time. Download the manual and you can learn more all about it.

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 Pedal It's quite better ti take it.

Yes. The onboard amp modeling is great for that. I usually run it very and let my effects pedals do the work but as astand alone amp itis more than capable of producing any overdrive you want including deep saturation metal.

You can send midi to it for sequencing, but not to control the oscillators... just the notes. None of the knobs can control VSTs on your DAW... only notes and not even the pitch wheel. That being said, this is the finest piece of gear I've purchased. Incredibly fun, kill bass sounds, versatile, and sending midi notes out of your DAW for sequencing is a blast.

Hello Ryan, with my old Engl 100 Watts Amp it works really fine. I get exactly the distortion I need. Connect it via fx-loop. Greetings, Tom

Throw it directly into the input. It works great as a booster where you crank the level and cut back on the gain. I use mine to fill out the tone of the lead channels on my 6505 and DSL50. Also dump the cheap Chinese tube and opt for a JJ or Tungsol. I applied the Bitmo Monstrosity mod to mine and it is a must in my opinion.

I run an instrument cable from the carpenter jack to a Boss GE-7 equalizer pedal - then from the pedal with an instrument cable to my amp or PA mixer. Works great. You want to use a solid state (not tube) ampifier with this.

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.

It works just as well with bass, yes. I use exactly the same setup for guitar as bass, I just change the VST settings in Guitar Rig between bass and electric guitars. Hope that answers your question.

Anyone try running the output through the Fx Loop Send, increasing gain and lowering the Volume(so the speaker isn't heard)? But if this works you'll loose the Power tube phase. I'm using Blackstar Ht Metal's Emulated Output for this purpose.
