JDM Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Ok folks please bear with my naivety as I'm still finding my way around my amp. I have a Fender Rumble 25w and it is fitted with an effects loop. would I be correct in assuming that these two jack sockets are for the supply and return of an effects pedal. Thanks in advance.

Stewart Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Yes (though it needn't be a pedal) Also you may find a pedal (or other) effect works better before the input Generally modulation/delay/reverb can often be better in the loop - but experimentation is the only way....

Thanks in advance.[/quote] Send & Return - normal convention is the bass goes into the pre-amp, then the signal goes out into the effects loop and back into the power amp stage and out thru the speaker, but I have no idea if a Rumble 25W has a separate pre-amp and power amp. Its supposed to be better than feeding a bass signal straight from the instrument into an effect or stomp box then into the amp. Maybe because the signal is so weak before it hits the effects box, at least the pre-amp stage gives it a bit more character first. I'm speculating.
