send / receive

[pxs]

Wondering if anyone can help me out on this - I bought a Y cable for my effects loop I wanted to use, but when I actually looked a bit closer on the back of my head, it has a separate send and receive 1/4" inputs.

Would this require me to get a different type of setup for looping my effects in a send and receive fashion.

(hoping to hook up my delay and reverb and chorus pedals thru the send and receive on my old fender head so that the line signal does not change as much)

if anyone does something similar to this, could you recommend a cable (ie- would i need 4 mono male ends: 2 for the head (1-send, 1-receive / and 2 for the pedal loop)?

Thanks-

Run the Effects Send to the first effect in your signal chain, set up your effects as you would, and run the output of the last effect in the signal chain back into the Effects Return.

It doesn't require any specialized cables, just 1/4" instrument cables.

Adam just described the way I use the loop on my old Fender and it works fine for me. Just remember to hook things up in the order of "least distortion to most" like; line out> EQ > wah pedal > delay > distortion > line in, and you should not have any problems.

That's not the way I'd do it. Better off keeping distortion, wah, compression and maybe eq, between the guitar and amp (Not necessarily in that order). Use the loop for delay, reverb, chorus and such.
