Title: Buffering the loop... options? Post by: camaroman on April 02, 2013, 02:59:44 PM Ok, first of all... hello to everyone.. I'm new arround here and this would be my first post (although I've been lurking arroud for a while).
Here is the thing... due to certain circumstances I have been toying with the idea of using a dbx 1024 buffer amp as a buffer for the Ceratone effect loop... is this a good idea in your opinion? Any feedback is greatly appreciated cheers! Title: Re: Buffering the loop... options? Post by: LeftyF on April 09, 2013, 02:03:04 AM Generally speaking any effect or device that will bring your signal up to "pro" line level (rack effects level) will work in the loop. I successfully used an Alesis Nanoverb to bring the return level up and use my pedal board without a D-later. So if the DBX has enough makeup gain to sit in front of your pedals and bring the signal up then it will work. The Klienulator does a great job of further smoothing of the overdrive sound (as does the C-labor) so you would miss this benefit.
Hope that's helpful Title: Re: Buffering the loop... options?

The oxmoor is a 1 rack space device which I got from Ebay dirt cheap.
