I'm currently using 4 cable method but what is the difference here? I don't want to untangle my birds nest of cables just to try it At the moment, if I switch on the send and return in the Boss software I use my Peavey preamp, if I switch the send and return off in the software I bypass the preamp and just use the power amp. Any thoughts? Cheers Phil You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

I'm using a mono fx loop on my 11 rack as my only unit in the loop is mono (The myasnikov preamp) Todd QUOTE (Phil66 @ Jan 26 2017, 03:32 PM) Ello folks, I read somewhere, and I can't find the web page now that you can plug your multi effects unit mono output straight into the fx loop return of your amp and that's it.

Any thoughts? If your unit can do that then no need for experimenting, as most processors can't do 4cable method (or don't have appropriate software for easy tweaking) most users plug them to the fx loop if they hate their preamps (like me) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

It just bypasses your preamp? Cheers You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

It just bypasses your preamp? Cheers Yep, then any preamp or even distortion pedal will work (must start adjusting with low volume to be safe). Also the amps send can be sent to a soundcard so one can have his/her preamp but use impulse cab.s for recording (though in my experience it can be a bit noisey) You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Jan 28 2017, 10:20 AM	GMC:er Posts: 25.297 Joined: 23-December 09 From: Atlanta, Georgia, USA	I switched to power amp solutions in stead of "Amp Heads" a while back and have not regretted it. I have an fx loop on my 11 rack, which I use my Myasnikov preamp on so that I can stomp on and off the preamp section by switching to a patch that has the 11 rack preamp disabled and cab enabled and fx loop enabled. IT just puts the myasnikov where the preamp should be in the chain. I gotta say it does sound better than any of the other heads/preamps in the 11, even the soldano it's based on. Just much more body, roundness, and bite. Putting a bit of tube in to things really can help a bit Todd You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
