a) Set your amp/preamp volume levels
for normal playing levels. Connect a high
quality shielded cable from the series send
jack to the effect input. Set the LEVEL
b) Adjust the effects unit input level to
“just peak”, if the effect has a level indi-
cator, while playing your most aggressive
licks. If the effect does not have a level
indicator, you can skip this step.
c) Now connect another high quality
shielded cable from the effect output to
the return jack.
d) Adjust the effects unit output level to
the match the volume you heard before
connecting the return cable. You can
check this by switching the loop in and
out from the footpedal. This is called
“unity gain”. A cool “techie” phrase for
“you get out what you put in”. If your ef-
fects gadget does not have level controls,
it can be assumed you will get unity gain
when plugged in.
NOTE: Depending on how loud you play,
the level at the loop may be higher than
type and tabletop effects may work, some
may tend to overload. You will know an ef-
fect is not made for higher levels if, when
you turn the loop on with the effect in the
loop, you notice distortion and/or a loss of
volume. Most modern effects (including
effects loop. We have gone to great lengths
to make the Tweaker loop compatible with
as many different effects gadgets as possi-
you still may occasionally encounter a
device that simply won’t work properly
in a loop. This is one of the reasons we
discourage players from using pedals in a
loop. You just spent a considerable amount
of your hard earned dollars to get this awe-
some sounding amp. Sticking a mediocre
pedal in the loop of your amp seems to be
“counter-tone”. Remember what we said
about the effect being transparent. Most
pedals color your sound and not always in
a good way.
