Title: Using an external preamp with an OTS - what am I hearing? Post by: gwp on May 06, 2011, 01:50:37 PM I tried the following signal path based on a previous post as follows:
The input from the guitar goes to a preamp (Mesa FormulaPre) The preamp output is via a "Send" from the Mesa That Output goes to the Input of the Smartulator The Output of the Smartulator goes to the "Return" of my OTS. With this setup, neither the Volume or PowerAmp front controls knobs function. Can someone explain what I am actually hearing from the speakers? Thanks Title: Re: Using an external preamp with an OTS - what am I hearing? Post by: plasticvonaband on May 06, 2011, 07:43:58 PM You are hearing your mesa preamp inserted into the poweramp section of your ots. Volume and tone shaping will be controlled via your preamp and c-lator. You are bypassing the preamp of your ots altogether.
