Big Uli Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 How do I use the FX Loop on my Laney G150? I put the [b]RETURN[/b] from the head into the [b]IN[/b] of the first pedal and the [b]OUT[/b] of the last pedal into the [b]SEND[/b] of the Head and nothing happened. Just silence Just in case i did it wrong I tried it the other way round but still nothing just silence As soon as one lead is unplugged from the head side of the FX loop I can hear my bass again So what am i doing wrong?

Merton Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Switch the Send and Return - send goes out of the amp to the first pedal and return goes back in from the last Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless he switched all four at the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Uli Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 Yes I did try both ways There seems to be some issue with the head. Not sure if it is something that can be fixed easy or not I have someone look at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markstuk Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Try running a cable between the send and return sockets on the amp. If you get sound then the loop is working. Is there a switch to turn the loop on/off ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Uli Posted April 5, 2017 Author Share Posted April 5, 2017 I got it working now I have been testing sounds and volumes with my 2 basses and used a kill switch rather than turning the amp on and off. I think that may be the cause of my issues. Every now and then after switching over no sound comes out for a while. Maybe kill switch is in the wrong place?

xgsjx Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Depending on your fx, you might find putting the fx directly between your bass & amp works better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Uli Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 Yes. My overdrive is pretty much useless in the loop. My fuzz should ce today so hopefully that will work well. I would refer fuzz and BOD on separate loops as i use different basses for each Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
