Walker Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Hi BCers I want to input my Ampeg pre-amp into the FX return of my GenzBenz Shuttle, but I also want my rackmount multi effects unit in the Genz’s FX loop. Is that possible? How would I do it? Cheers Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 why do you want your rack in the loop? Does it have a blend control? If so, I don't think it's possible. If you just want them in the loop for some other practical reason, then plug your ampeg pre into the rack, and then rack into the FX return as usual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker Posted November 5, 2012 Author Share Posted November 5, 2012 FX is mainly for chorus and a bit of auto wah or filter. So that's normally after the pre I think? So what you are saying is... guitar into Ampeg pre > FX > Genz Benz power stage (via the FX return). Would that be the same as putting the FX into the loop if I wasnt using a seperate pre?

cheddatom Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 yep, sorted. If you like the sound then long term you might be better off with just a power amp, rather than the shuttle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But always nice to have a back-up incase the Ampeg fancies a break! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
