Do you use more pedals in front of amp kingbee?
I use Boss SD-1 in gain channel for old school rock, and Vox Satchurator ( this thing is a killer ) on clean boosted by SD-1 for modern type distortion, just makes me play more and more. I am gonna try effect loop thing today to see how it works.
my pedal board right now is: tc electronics tuner > crybaby wah-wah > fulltone fulldrive 2. Effects loop is: mxr van halen phaser > mxr carbon copy delay > fulltone fat-boost 3. Powered by pedal power 2.
I am ordering MXR M-108 equalizer for the effect loop, if boss sd-1 makes wonders there then equalizer would be amazing, boost and control of the tone.
This boost trick completely changed my setup, I use Sd-1 in the loop all the time, for solo boost I switch to boosted channel, all the fizzines is gone and what's left is great Marshall tone. This works only at marshall-earth-shattering volumes, bedroom levels are not the real thing on MA.
Clean boost is what pushes MA to next level, I just don't get it why. Does it saturates power tubes earlier or it smoothes preamp gain, it really makes huge difference, especially in boost channel.
MXR M-108 should be great pedal for MA effect loop, 10 band EQ, plus volume and gain control, so it's kinda an overdrive pedal too, can't wait to try it.
Ok, I got the Boss GE-7 EQ pedal, and it works wonders in the loop. I am selling my distortion pedals, all I need now is super overdrive set for clean boost all the way up and Ge-7 after it for cleaning up the tone and it just screams, I was playing for 2 hours,and can't stop, the tone is amazing.
Here are pics of settings I use now, video coming soon.
Ok here comes the video, very f*** up quality by youtube, it sounds much better live.

Should I run my AC Boost pedal in the loop with my delay? I need a boost (volume) for solos and all I am getting with the AC Boost pedal in front of the amp is more gain?
