Re: EQ in the loop, is there a downside ?
Well following the True Bypass trend i can tell you im hearing alot more CE-2 Chorus in the loop so much so that i had to back off the internal trim pot by 1/2 a turn and the only reason could be that the MXR Phase 90 was not TB and was in front of the CE-2.
So i guess there really is a difference.
Phase 90 is now going into front of amp after wah before overdrives.

I don't see any downside of having the EQ in the loop. However, for me, I love to use the EQ to kick the pre-amp tubes. Especially with my Fender Excelsior, I can get the amp to scream with the EQ level cranked. WIth the Marshall JCM 2000 or Fender Quad, it is nirvana.

About the only downside I found was more noise. I also found that I needed to run the pedal with the master volume of the pedal a little on the negative side because the signal in the loop was a lot hotter than guitar level.

ANALOGMAN and a few other mod companies offer a 50 dollar mod on some EQ pedals to bring the buffer noise floor down 10-15 dB .
almost a must if you run EQ pedal in the effects loop IMO>

Yeah, as I side note I did the monte allums GE-7 mod and it cut down the noise noticeably.
