QUOTE (kjutte @ Jul 19 2008, 06:58 PM)  I see I see, and I think that's correct. I also have a problem with my effectloop though. All the effects seem to be more present in clean channel than the other ones. Why is that? also I noticed that my "effect mix" pot meter is barely increasing the effect level. Do you have any idea? Thats a little hard to say without knowing the design of them amp ... if you have atube buffered effects loop it could be affected by the higher voltage but I am really just guessing. -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

So if my voltage raises, this signal becomes retarded. Ok, I can't afford a cabinet at the moment- Can I just put a resistor at the output? Well, of course I can, but do you have any suggestion to which? Here is the diagram.

QUOTE I'm getting a bit confused here. Which cables should I run from my GT6 to my soundcards ins? Just regular jacks? I'm just gonna quote myself in hope of a reply!  |

I always just call them jack cables and not signal jacks! 
Sorry for being such a dumbhead.

A resistor isn't the same as a speaker, a speaker is reactive as well as resistive, although it might be better than nothing. Though, as I said earlier, if you have no power tubes in there it should be ok ... any resistor you put in there would have to have a huge power rating though. Chances are if it hasn't blown up allready it probably won't. the schematics make it look like you have a lot of solid state stuff in there as well though, which will run of a separate power supply, without spending several hours looking through the schematic I can't tell exactly what is going on here ... still not sure why your FX loop is louder on the clean channel ... -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

QUOTE (kjutte @ Jul 20 2008, 03:46 AM) What do you mean by solidstate? Yeah, I know that it has no reactans, but does it matter? I just have a transformer and an amplifying link, would it matter aslong as I have a load? Solidstate is transisters and such instead of tubes. Really, to use a resistor for this it would need to be huge in terms of power dissipation - I really wouldn't go down that route ... -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

QUOTE (Scott Gentzen @ Jul 19 2008, 10:39 PM) I didn't really read the manual though. With a new tube amp that is a sensitive piece of equipment, I must say this is not too responsible of you mate. DOn't get me wrong, you could start a fire, damage the amp or maybe something even worse, god forbid. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
