Musicman20 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Hi all I want to try my Tonehammer pedal through the Shuttlemax 9.2 or Streamliner 900 (GB). How do I go about it properly? Do I need to power the pedal itself then plug it into the effects out power amp in or am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discreet Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 You'll need to power the pedal. As far as I know you can either put the preamp in front of your amp like an effect, or plug it into the effects return to bypass the pre on the amp. I don't think plugging into the effects out is the way to go. But I could be wrong, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt on your Bass? Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Do you want to use it as the preamp and bypass the integrated amp preamp? If yes, you'll need to go from the pedal to the effect return/receive (or however its labelled) so the tonehammer is feeding the power amp direct. Your amp preamp controls will then be redundant. If you just want it as a dirt box then into the front of the amp will do it. You'll need to power both the amp and the pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 You have three returns to use on the max too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamfist Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I'd try it into the normal bass input and also into the FX return. See which way sounds better. Be aware that your amp's master volume will probably not work if you plug the tonehammer into the FX return (depends on the layout of the amp) so you will probably need to control your volume with the output volume from the tonehammer in that instance. I mention that to avoid killing your ears when you first plug it in and find yourself at full volume ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
