I have never really used the FX loop of an amp before. I gave it a try on the Laney but did prefer the sound when just stacking up pedals in front of the amp. So I haven't tried it on the Egnater yet. But I'll give it a try just to let you know how it goes. I'll plug the chorus and the wah and see what happens.

Nonetheless, so far I am very happy with just the amp on its own. And appart from the wah, which is a must have IMO, I doubt I will be using many pedals with it... (famous last words).

I have added 2 clips on the soundclick website. A classic rock song played with the Studio. The other song I wanted to add is so awfully played that I will not "publish" it just yet. I'll give it another go.

Mr Air,

I have tested the FX loop with the Wah. There is definitely a substantial drop in volume level when the FX loop is connected, but it doesn't seem to alter the sound, despite what I thought at first. Will probably need to do some recordings to make sure. But it sounds good to me either way, I wouldn't compare this as muffled under a blanket. And the wah effect sounded better, smoother and more airy/open when used through the FX loop.

Now I can see though how the drop in volume can be an issue if you want to use the amp un-miced at small gigs... As far as I am concerned, it won't be an issue, the headroom is way more then I need anyway.

WIll do the same with the overdrive pedal to see how it goes.

I have been inspired by the latest album for Robin Trower and found a nice setting to find a similar sound out of the neck Boss pup of my Tele. So cool! I didn't use the Brit mode though, still partial for the AC mode at the moment. Listening to this album and reading his interview in the last issue of guitarist have opened new tonal/playing horizons. This guy is brilliant.
