  • Another dumb question

    If you have a separate preamp/poweramp, what is the difference between the preamp's effects loop and putting an effect physically between the preamp and poweramp in the chain?

    It's almost like you've answered your own question?

    An effects loop is placed between the preamp and power amp...You'd be inserting your time based effects ideally there...

    I've not tryed running my effects in between a seperate preamp and power amp?

      Er, badly worded on my part. What I was trying to say was, what's the difference between placing an effects unit physically between a separate preamp and power amp, or into the preamp's send/return inbuilt loop (and then having the preamp go directly to the poweramp)?
