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? :laugh2:

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?
 
Re: Another dumb question

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)?
