FX Loop

[Big Uli]

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?

Switch the Send and Return - send goes out of the amp to the first pedal and return goes back in from the last

Did he not say he had switched them around ? Unless he switched all four at the same time?

[Big Uli]

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

I don't read things properly at the best of time but I've been drinking wine, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it

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 ?

[Big Uli]

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?

Depending on your fx, you might find putting the fx directly between your bass & amp works better.

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
