Title: How much tone am I losing? Post by: hurtwoodec on October 06, 2011, 11:32:50 AM Hey guys, I am running an OTS HRM without a fx loop buffer ie C Lator etc. Ive got pedal fx in the front and an Earthquaker reverb pedal in the loop.
How much is tone being effected by this setup? Should I get a C-lator or Fuchs plush Verbrator? cheers Title: Re: How much tone am I losing? Post by: burst59 on October 08, 2011, 06:07:32 PM The external unit is mainly for controlling the levels of your effects going through the loop. As you turn up
your effects are going to get to hot running through the loop and will be a bit washed out. Also if you play out like I do the external loops acts as another master vollume so you can get your sweet spot on the amp and then turn it down through the external unit. I played out once without it one time when I had a bad cable in my board and I didn't have time to find it since I had just hit the stage and the sounds was not as good. It really warms up the amp when running effects. I ended up getting the Glaswerks Matchbox and will be upgrading later to his reverb unit. Here is mine in action with an Eventide Time Factor run through a Suhr Mini Mix 2 into the Glaswerks in parallel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9yjc5Ybh-g |
