This may sound a weird, dumb or downright pointless question, but currently makes a perfect sense for my situation and I can't apparently figure this out myself. And I currently don't have time to sensibly explain why I have this problem. (long story...)
So, how does one attenuate the signal of preamp before passive loop without losing the preamp overdrive. The amp in question has preamp volume (gain) right before singal goes to PI. Signal from preamp is too high for any effects in loop. But adding attenuator in loop works exactly like the gain pot and cuts out the preamp distortion! So the whole fx loop becomes pointless...
How is this generally made work in amps? I know loops should be usually buffered, but wouldn't attenuator still work like in this case.
Or is the attenuator circuit used in buffer for fx loop somehow different? I don't see how it could be...
