Title: Digital multi-effects in loop?? Post by: AdrianJ on May 28, 2012, 01:45:43 PM Is anyone using a Boss GT100 or similar in the loop of their OTS and with or without a c-lator or similar?
I'm thinking that the price isn't too bad for all the modulation, delay and reverb options it gives you but wondered how well it works in this kind of loop.... Having to wait until I move in July to order my OTS as it would be due to ship right when I was moving and I wouldn't want it going to the wrong house!! Still, picked up a Fender Blues Deville 4x10 combo at a bargain price on eBay which will make a great backup amp!! (Might even make me opt for 4x10 cab to go with the OTS). Problem is now that I'm spending my time planning my stage rig...hell, for pub gigs I think my mind is going a little overboard (almost Bonamassa level of complexity!!)...will have to remember to reign it back in a little to just the OTS with the Deville as backup and maybe JTM45 at some point...

Post by: plasticvonaband on May 28, 2012, 05:50:21 PM I believe forum member Pickmaster uses a multi effect pedal in the loop without a buffer and it works very well. I have used my space echo without the c-lator and it worked pretty good as well.

Use a TC Electronic Nova System in the loop with or without c-lator, all is very happy in the naked loop of the amp...either circuit. Analog fx digitally switched with this one.

It is connected to the amp with 4m four individually shielded core cable (capacitance - core to shield is 99pf and overall diameter - 5,6mm, very flexible). Cable is for send/return and channel switching as well. I also have loopolator by Bludotone and C lator by Ceriatone. They are identical and work well with my TC electronic G major but I still prefer the RP-200. I have to mention that from the Digitech line only old RP 100 and RP 200 works in the loop without input overload problems, they can take enormous input signal without distorting it. I'm sure there are many similar multieffects which work great in the D style loop without additional buffer. Important requirements are highest possible input impedance, EQ and adjustable high volume output. Cheers |
