FX question (fx loop)

foxyloxy

whats up jag-ers

just a quick question- i have been using pedals for a about a year now but only recently did i decide to try and work out the FX loop, when i first worked it out it seamed to work fine. but then i found it sucking volume and tone from my bigmuff, then the delay sounded dodgy. after that i lost heart and have never used it since but i am hoping some of you guys could help me with it, should i use SOME of them in the fx loop or what

I think it's advised that you use the distortions/overdrives/fuzzes in the line straight between guitar and amp, and that it's fine to use eveything else in the loop. Not totally sure if that's correct or not... I haven't had any personal experience with effects loops, and have often wondered about them myself...

exactly, although modulations can go pretty much anywhere. flangers/phasers are also put in front of dirt boxes allot

i now use, in fx loop - 'SEND'-CF7-DD6-'return. guitar-'sweep filter'-big muff-digitech overdrive-boss SD-1-analog delay (dose not seam to like the fx loop).

tragictravisty

that seems like a great setup.

it seams to work quite well, but more delay pedals me thinks.
