Nibody Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Have had my rig for a good while now, and for a good while I have had this nigling issue. Whatever I put In the Ampegs effect loop causes an irritating farting to the sound, even on bypass (on the actual pedal). Have tried bridging the effects loop to eliminate the amp itself and when this is done there is no issue, but this doesn't really help! Have had this problem with all my old EHX pedals, a Zoom B1, Boss ME 20 B, and my current Zoom MS-60B. On those that allow it I've turned the output down to the point of nothing, and have had the issue when they are on bypass. The idea of a switchable effects loop is great as I want to run my wireless into the input rather than chaining it with the effects and having to balance out the input gain. Nice to be able to cut the loop out and go back to my rigs normal sound at the press of a switch. Do I just have a bad effects loop or am I missing something as all Ampeg could offer was the unity of gain which I've already tried by adjusting the output level of the Multieffects. At present I can't afford to change amp, and to be honest I don't want to as I love the sound of the Portaflex rig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
