What kind of FX pedals are you after mate: chorus, flanger, phaser, delay? Normally you would put the all of those in the FX loop of the DSL. I don't think the pedals will take away the tube sound, but digital effects will sound digital, as oposed to analog ones. Some analog FX pedals tend to suck tone a bit, so you have to watch what you buy. Give us some more info so we can give you some specific advises mate.

You said you had Zoom gtt9, so you sold it or som?
If not then you should just hook it up in FX Loop, turn off drive/amp section on it and use only effects like delay,flange etc. Zoom is not a top notch brand for effects but I'm sure it'd serve you pretty well.

I can recommend some pedals mate, cause I don't like multiFX units that much. Here are few suggestions that will not kill your budget but will get along great with your Marshall.
DELAY Boss DD3: Nice smooth sounding digital delay unit. Up to 800ms of delay. I had this unit and sold it cause i got DD20, but it did the job very nicely. I recommend this, it's a safe bet. It goes around 95-100$. Electro-Harmonics #1 Echo I haven't heard this unit live, but since EHX is famous by their great delay pedals, this should definitely be checked. Here's a great video review on their site. FLANGE Boss BF3 I don't have this unit, but have heard good things about it. You should check it out before you buy. Costs about 100-110$ Electro Harmonix Stereo Electric Mistress I have this pedal for couple of months and it is a great one. It's a flanger and chorus in one, and you can make a lot of different sounds with it. It's a digital unit, but very warm sounding. It's in the BF3 price range. Here's a very good video review on the site. Let me know if you want more info or have some questions mate. Cheers -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

No I still have it, I'm in the process of getting rid of it. I"ll try going through the efx loop for now but I'm not to happy with it in general. Thanks for your help Muris!

I was wondering if some of the boss pedals would do the trick. So just loop them together with a tuner then Bob's your uncle. saawweettt!!! Thanks so much Ivan!! |

Maybe you're not doing it right! You also said you like sound of your amp alone,right? Bare in mind that FX Loop stage is AFTER preamp section of your amp, which means no drive and such,turn it OFF! -------------------- Youtube

I've got the Boss BF-3 Flanger and I can say that for its price it's absolutely mind-blowing. Only thing is it's not true bypass.

Ya was told by the guy at the store to go through the guitar input. And in the manual it said to ajust the front panel a certain way. But i haven't tried the efx loop on the back. But i'm thinking that it's the board and the amp model presets that are built into it. the waw and volume pedals are mickey mouse to. I've read the manual front to back and i can't get the sound i want. I think Ivan is on the right track of what i'm looking for with individual pedals. I'll give it a try though, Thanks Muris! By the way your guitar idol song is amazing! How do i vote though? JCM 2000 DSL is powerful tube amp and imo it's a shame to connect unit like gtt9 in front and use gain from it. That kind a ruins your ton A LOT. Guy at the store told you probably the easiest but not the best solution. Try FX Loop and see how it sounds like, remember to turn off drive on Zoom , should be working fine. As for my GI entry, thanks for liking it, there's a link in my signature, click on it and register, then you'll be able to vote after, cheers! -------------------- Youtube

You should consinder a BOSS GT-10 using the four cable method. So GT-10 IN -> AMP IN -> AMP EFFECT SEND -> GT-10 -> AMP EFFECT RETURN. You can even use the GT-10 to switch channels on your amp. I like it

Yes, I agree with Muris, putting it in front is not a good thing. Since you are considering getting some FX pedals for the loop, you can try for now as a transition solution to get another cable and send the Zoom unit through the FX loop. Like Muris said, be sure to turn off all the modeling, like amp, cabs and all, and just make a preset with delay only, or chorus only and use it practically just as multiFX unit. -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE
