Amps

[Just Mike]

I just picked up a JVM 210H and I love the sounds this thing gets. But the FX loop isn't the same as my last amp. It doesn't take my pedals or GT-6 well at all.
I think it's better suited for rack effects like a TC Major where you have the ability to set the mix (in the fx processor) to 100% wet and run the mix ctl on the amp like a parallel loop.

What say you?

I think the JVM has 2 differnet loops (a paralell and 1 serial loop)


Since you have rackmounts and pedals, i would try them in different loops with different signals and see what reacts with what and go from there, then play with the mix amount of each one, i think thats a start for you


Good luck, very cool amps keep us posted :thu:

The parallel loop seems to work with anything I've put in there, as long as it's set right. (100% wet, +4/-10 switch set correctly) I've found the series loop does not work well with pedals.

I'd search the jvm forum there are whole threads dedicated to how the loops work (parallel mixes 50% signal with 50% buffered raised signal copy so it can be used as a solo boost for example!) where the serial is more of an insert power amp in loop if I remember. Or is it also buffered? Anyway, lots of technical info and the common result is, the tc g major is excellent with the JVM and the parallel loop can be hard bypassed or brought in to the signal path so you can put a crappy behringer delay pedal without ruining your rythm sound!
