Level loss and tone affected when using effects loop


ToadMeister

Recommended Posts

Miles,

 

When I plug a digital delay and a chorus pedal into the effects loop of my Rivera Clubster I get a noticeable drop in volume and clarity. It has a muffled quality to it. Almost like a heavy blanket over the speaker.

 

Using the same guitar and cords I plug the same effects into my Mesa Boogie Mark III effects loop and I have no problems. I have new tubes in both amps. Any suggestions?

 

Thanks,

 

ToadMeister

Could the battery in either pedal be going bad?

 

This is why I like the idea of using a signal splitter and mixer - you have more control over what happens to your tone when you put stuff in your effects loop. With a splitter, you can run your unprocessed guitar sound in parallel with the processed guitar sound, and then with the mixer, mix unprocessed and processed signals back together in parallel.
