Members jbeekins Posted April 22, 2009 Members Share Posted April 22, 2009 I recently bought a 67 Fender Bandmaster and am trying to figure out how I can use my G Major with it. I have been running my guitar into the input of a loop box which I put a distortion pedal in, from the output of the loop box into the input of the G Major and coming out of the mono out of the G Major into the amps input. Is this ok? I control patches on the gmajor and bring the distortion pedal in and out with a FCB 1010 controller. I'm wandering if I should just put an effects loop in the amp. Someone has taken the vibrato circuit out so I have room on the board and a preamp tube that is really acting as a jumper at the moment. I really dont want to do the stomp box thing as there are way to many pedals/ contrlloers to have to buy to accomplish what the gmajor does with the FCB 1010. The need for the distortion pedal is the main reason for a loop. Any help or ideas would be great. I feel like I'm not getting all I can as far as levels or quality running the gmajor in this manner. I hope I'm wrong but need a little help on this. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Yek Posted April 22, 2009 Members Share Posted April 22, 2009 Yep, you're right. The GM should not run in front of the amp.For a couple of hunderd dollars (or euros) a tech can add a quality effects loop to an amp, at -10dB instrument level or +4dB line level. The GMN can cope with both. Ik you like the GM then make it a series loop (instead of a parallel loop), because the GM doesn't work too well with parallel fx loops.
