I noticed a decrease in tone when I plugged my carbon copy, harmonizer, and chorus into effects loop...could the length of the instrument cables have an effect? When I just plugged straight into the amp, the tone was fine and a little louder. Same thing happened when I plugged into effects loop of boss katana. Thanks!
will/can this work to hook an other amp/pa system at the same time
because i have a Marshall 50mg fx i want to hook a pa system to use with a mic (marshell for guitar mic amp for mic)
what im trying to do is get is an equal vol for both guitar and mic with out having to do them separate or should i use the loudspeaker hook up to plug it in and if so then what should i plug it in to
@@hikupmusicofficial So if i plan to use a distortion pedal and not the amp for distortion, can i get away without an fx loop by not cranking the gain?
Going to colledge for a couple years first will be very helpful
Instructions unclear, my FX loop is now connected to my oven. Having noise issues as a result.
Now that's funny. Think I'll connect my FX loop to the blender and coffee pot. I have a stereo Crate amp head.
I did that, and I got burnt chicken. Sounded good, though.
LOL
I really F’d up! Somehow my Effects Loop ended up being connected to a Giant Vibrator!.........I think i have a problem??? Hahahahaha 🤘👽
I had the same issue. Preheat to 350 first. Should resolve.
I've been playing for just over 10 years now, and this channel has seriously helped answer some of the questions I didn't even know I had. Thanks as always Colin, you viciously handsome devil.
Oooooh, Betty!
Another common use is to run a modeler, like a Line 6 Helix, into the FX Return on the amp. That way you can let the modeler model the preamp and use the amp's power amp.
Colin, Just a thank you. i have searched and searched and searched for a good quality video that explains what you did. Unfortunately no other video gave the info you did in a such a brief, direct and understandable way. loved the video mate. Cheers from AUS!
Damn dude this was one of the best informative videos I’ve seen in a long time! I always thought you could just plug in pedals into the front amp input but now understand what the send and return are forZ this probably why I have had issues with pedals in the past! thanks a million dude, subscribing
Dude I watched like 10 of these vids and this was honestly the most helpful! You get to the point quick and easy. Thank you!!!
thank you so much for actually explaining this, I swear no one ever actually gives an explanation of how this works. they just say plug pedals in in this order. appreciated
I've been trying to figure out how to connect my amp to an interphase! I never thought of using the fx loop, thanks Colin !
Heck yes been needing this video or one like this... new to the whole big tube amp game and this helps out a lot thanks man I love your channel
You are slowly clearing out all my doubts, Colin. Much appreciated!
that feel when i already know all this stuff but still chose to watch the entire video. no regrets
Hoshi Hearts humblebrag
Hoshi Hearts a-men lol. Came for Colin's beautiful voice and accent. Stayed for the HM-2 t-shirt.
Albert Parbz i dont even have an amp with an fx loop lol i just have internet. not bragging at all i swear!
This is how I feel when I watch any video. It's nice to confirm that you are still correct about everything.
@@ScienceofLoud everything?
Well done, Colin! Answered all my question. Wasn’t sure about anything when I got here. Thanks man , and keep up the good work educating the dummies amongst us as well!
Despite the outrageous accent that I have to translate to english and then to spanish which is my native language, this has benn TREMENDOUSLY DIDACTICAL. Thank so much bro. I'm on the verge of buying a guitar amp and this has changed the course of things for for good. Thank you again.
Thanks for all your videos ...I have a metal mad guitar -bass player 12 yr old son ...
You are helping us understand the ins and outs of many many things .
Like not blowing the amp up with the wrong cables ..have the cabinet defiantly plugged into the head ect ect ..
Look forward to your future videos ...on our journey of guitars amps and pedals ect ect
Thanks again
Finally someone explaining it well! Thank you so much for saving me so much trouble!!
The batch of ideas concerning guitar -> Send/Return were brand new to me. Thanks for the wisdom!
Best discussion of the subject I've ever heard or seen. Thanks Colin.
So much information in such a short amount of time! Great video
Bro i needed the answer and i clicked a 30 minute video i saw a 6 minute video and then i clicked on your three minute one. You cover more knowledge and even show me how to plug in directly to my daw which i didnt know i could do!! Since i dont have a mic to tecord right now. Much love
Man, thank you for this. It cleared up a lot of things.
Awesome lore. Thanks man! The alternate fx loop applications are really useful.
Love your channel man! Keep it going and congrats
You answered my question in the first 60 seconds.. great explanation thanks!
I just ran my OD pedal and Strat to the loop return and I really like the sound. It increases the headroom and mellows out the distortion, more dynamic. You can't hide behind compression if your playing is sloppy.
Really well explained and very useful! thanks!
Perfect! Just what I was looking for - Now I am subscribing!!! Bravo!
I'd like to add one more possible use of the loop: if the signal is split one can send the signal to different power stages. This is particularly useful for effects like chorus, where mixing effected and uneffected signal can take make the sound far more massive than either is on its own.
Another great video, Colin. Thank you. The only things I'd request adding to a talk about effects loops are: 1) describing the effects of buffering on buffered effects loop; and 2) series/parallel effects loops. Small ask there, but again, thanks.
AWESOME---answered all my questions, thank you!!!
I had no idea you could just plug and play directly into the loop. I can't wait to try this. it's like finding out my amp has new features.
I love these 'explained' videos, even though I already know most of the stuff in them it's nice to see it presented in such an informative way, keep it up Colin!
For all those interested in the t-shirt I am wearing, it is merch from Finnish Grindcore band Rotten Sound.
The band are incredibly ferocious and intense, visit them at www.rottensound.com and pass on some love from me.
Bugera 333 tipped on the side
Did you go to lords of the land festival this year? Rotten sound played, I was gonna go but money is tight right now.
+berrett96 that's where I got the t-shirt. I went in full copse paint.
CSGuitars really wish I'd gone now could have met one of my favourite youtubers
Love rotten sound my band played with them last year on their tour to Maryland Deathfest. Check us out! banditgutterpunk.bandcamp.com
thank you Colin, great video explaining fx loop, cheers
Great info, I use my effects loop for chorus and delay....didnt really know why until now, also didnt know about any of the other stuff I can do, cheers.
love your vids man. strait and to the point ,no b.s. why can' everyone else do this ??
Extremely helpful video! Thanks brother!
Exactly the info I needed. Thank you for the help!!
"But.. steil is havier than feether..." joke aside, nice video 👍🏻
What's heavier? A kilogram of steel or a kilogram of feathers?
Are ya alroight?... I dount get it..... Lmao!
@@juvedoo99 - They're the same. A kilo is a kilo no matter what the item is.
Very helpful. Answered exactly what I needed to know as a beginner
At last a proper explanation of FX Loops! Thank you!
I can totally see the Orange Micro Dark hiding behind the Metal Muff. I think it had stage fright. Poor thing...
I cant unsee IT #GiveTheShyOrangeMicroSpotlight
lol it’s there all right
What a dark cutie , that thing !!
Excellent video, thanks for posting, much appreciated : )
The first person i've found on TH-cam that actually explains everything, and in good detail! Thanks for all the tips in your videos,really helped alot and made me subscribe to your channel almost instantly! Question: can you do a video using the boss metal core pedal?
Thanks for the upload, Colin. I've been wondering what the FX loop was all about, since I've started playin' (back in 2010).
This is awesome thank you. I have always just plugged all of my petals into the front of my amplifiers because I’ve never had an effects loop before. But I am about to take ownership of a boss katana Mkii 100 W head and it has the send return FX loop on the back. I see much experimentation in my future. Thank you!
Thank God for a proper and to the point explanation
Thanks! Great video with lots of information!
incredibly informative as usual; my problem with the fx loop is that I use a Zoom multi-effects pedal, so I use it before the pre-amp so I can still utilise the tuner, which now explains perfectly why I can't use modulation or delays/verbs going through the driven channels.
Crystal clear! Great video.
Best explanation in the whole wide web, thank you!
I was so lost but now I know so much more. I'm shook. great video
Thanks so much! New to all of this. Big help!
Just as Im about to start recording with my line 6 multi delay pedal. Thank you sir!!
This was extremely helpful, Colin. I had no idea you could connect the FX Send directly to a guitar interface input. I feel like an idiot because this is groundbreaking news to me, but I'm thankful nonetheless. That's about to change everything for me.
SamueL dude same here
I’ve been using the front of my origin 50 head
Ignorance was bliss.. damn it
Canada here> Love your channel very informative, oh and love your accent! Cheers friend!
Thank for you keeping the vid short and effective.
Short and helpful. Thanks!
Hi Colin, would really love to see a video detailing interface boxes and recording options, including things like Phantom Power.
You make the best videos!
I've ordered myself a Boss DD7, so I can finally start using the effects loop in my amp!
Also I tried my Boss DS1 through the effects loop and it added sooooo much low end to the pedal! Which the Boss DS1 stock definitely lacks low end
thank you very much something i really needed to know.
Thanks, that was quick and educational.
Cheers man been wondering about that for the longest time xD and I pretty much stumblef across this video looking through yours. You got some valubale content on here man glad to be subbed :).
Set up my rig . Guitar into Ts Tubescreamer , line 6 HD pod pro x for fx processing , BBE sonic maximizer rack unit , 5150 III
Thanks for clearing this out! 😎🤘🏻 now I understand how to better use my effects loop
Good explanation and tips for extra uses for the FX loop other than modulation effects.
Very easy to understand. Thanks!
Best explanation I've ever heard!
i was thinking about doing reserach about fx loop yesterday D:
THANK YOU!
This is really helpful.thanks man!
Great job in this short video explaining this.
Great explanation my friend
I watched this video many times then stiil paused it at the explaniaion of the Send socket 01:12 and the Return socket 01:19 to make double sure i got it correct, i also labeled the leads into my pedals being Send and Return so i don't have to keep looking at the back of my Amp to make sure i've got the leads into the correct sockets. Thanks Coiln for the explanation, even i think i've got it right.
Great explanation. Many thanks.
Thanks Colin ,
AGAIN!
You are one smart dude and thank you for sharing and being so specific.... :)
Great video thank you!
great vid bud!
very very helpful. thanks!
A nice continuation of this would be load boxes that you connect instead of a cab (with a speaker cable).
I had never even thought about using the effects send to plug straight into an audio interface for direct recording. I have microphones, but they're not the BEST for recording guitar (and I don't have the best room). But plugging direct in after the preamp from the effects send......genius.
Thank you very much, very informative.
Great explanation man thanks!!!
Excellent explanation thank you so much :)
Great videos mate
Thanks for the info
this is what i’ve been searching for for AGES now
great.video, helped explain a few things
dear colin: thanks for these info vids- sincerely, everyone :)
Thanks for the great content as always, and nice funny-af shirt!
Thanks bro!Can you upload a video showing how to setup eq in the preamp as well as the eq pedal....
thanks for talking about cables! no one else mentions that!
Very well explained
You are the savior of my tone. Kilt power!
I was thinking about buying a mic and an audio interface for months because I can't afford them and now I know I can plug the amp to the interface, so I can do something about it :)
For a different sound stick an OD or distortion in the FX loop. I have a DOD Grunge that sounds terrible in front of the amp, but is amazing in the loop and basically gives a third channel.
Thank-you sir.Jay.
Very interesting and useful...cheers man..peace
Thank for the tips !
