Finally! A no nonsense straight forward, easy to understand explanation of Fx Loop. Thank you sir. Easy.
yes finally i get it. its fuckin logic man :D
If you had been my instructor, i'm convinced college algebra would have been a completely different experience. Keep up the good work Matt!
Gotta say, NEVER considered a volume pedal in my loops to allow for pull amp distortion without destroying the house. Need to try this when I get home.
apg1 R U home yet ?
I think he might arrive any minute now
I think he stopped at McDonalds but he probably just got his food.
Desterosso
They probably got his order wrong
McD's probably got his order wrong
(reposting cuz it didn't seem to post the first time dammit)
Send to the pedals then return to the amp. that's how I remember it :)
It only took me 2 seconds to read and understand. Thanks bro!
Your comment is, word for word, all the guy in the video needed to say. nice one!
@@pulpapple that's not what the guy in the vid said. He explained it really well. And made it understandable with pre tical examples,
@@jiggersotoole7823 I'm sorry, I think you got the wrong end of the stick. What was the point of your comment? I didn't say that was what the video said. Are you trying to sound clever? There was no need for you to comment at all. It's not rocket science mate, well done.
This is easier..thanks
I've been watching several videos from different channels trying to figure out what the efx loop really does in a chain. Finally got it from this video. It all makes sense to me now.
50 videos later and your explanation was the most straight forward. You're a Golden god!
APPARENTLY I HAVE AN EFFECTS LOOP, THANKS FOR THE DIFFERENT NAMES FENDER
See this is why I don't REALLY like fender amps. They got a few nice modeling amps though side note.
V10 FSI V10 FSI, Audi?
the fender names make much more sense and are less confusing. Everyone else should start using fender's naming convention. more logical.
yes like a tremolo bar and vibrato channels-lol
Thanks for this. You seriously deserve a million plus subs.
Thank you for making this simple. I was way overthinking things. Easy to understand when explained the correct way and I didn’t know the trick of using a volume pedal to get that tone at low volumes, that’s cool!
GREAT EXPLANATION!! Thank you for not only being very informative, but quick. Your explanation was great and to the point without dragging it out. Just about ready to buy an amp and now I know that I want this feature. Keep up the great work!!
oh finally, I always wondered. thanks for the easy to understand breakdown + useful tips for volume control. love your channel man1
Thank you! Picked the guitar back up a few months ago after having not played for 25+ years (teenager then) and all I had was a small practice amp with an overdrive pedal. When I got back into researching amps I just ended up buying a Line 6 so I could play around with different sounds and effects and figure out what I really wanted long-term before dumping tons of money into gear that I really didn't need.
I've watched tons of videos on amps and effects and such, and you're the first person to explain it in true laymans terms where it's understandable to a noob how the pedals and amp work together. Thank You! Subscribed...
Thank you, Philip. The volume pedal in the loop as a manual noise gate is a genius idea, and the answer to my conundrum, I'll wager.
Love it when a video answers the exact question I was just asking myself. :)
Hey Phill, your videos are truly informative. Thanks for doing these over the years. I've learned a lot from your sessions. Best regards.
Appreciate the clarity and simplicity of the explanation; thanks!
never even heard of this channel or Philip McKnight until like 10mins and through Flipbook. so much useful info! the answers to questions nobody seems of want to answer! friggin love it, I'm gonna stick around for sure!
Finally someone who gets straight to the point! plus no unnecessary and annoying jump cuts!👍
great info, no frills, no noodling on your guitar showing off...love it. thank you!
Liked and favorite. This was EXTREMELY informative and very well explained. The volume pedal trick was genius. Thank you A LOT.
Great explanation! Now, I have a different idea on how to use the effects loop on my amp. I just usually use time based pedals such as reverbs and delays in the effects loop, but now I have a clear understanding how the effects loop works.
love this video. it's one of the questions I've always wanted explained. but didn't want to look dumb. Good job!
Awesome tip. Great to hear someone explain and provide an example about using the effects loop ESP with pedals and a volume pedal.
You explained this very nicely and easily understood. Thanks Phil!
Thanks bro! Much better than any other video I watched explaining this!
This is brilliant! I never thought of using my volume pedal this way.
All clearer now. Excellent video, thanks for sharing.
A diagram would work wonders to explain something like this, but I think you got the point across! The volume pedal thing blew my mind! Thanks!!
why has it taken so long for someone to use plain language and explain this thoroughly? You have a gift Phil thanks for it
I’m so glad I found your site, for a week I’ve been trying to run my BIAS FX2 thru my badcat Cougar 5 amp which has an FX loop. Positive Grid, the maker of BIAS FX2 had me going round in circles. You would think they would know dut they didn’t. Thanks again Merrill
Very informative. Thank you! I've never fully understood it's purpose....until now.
So many dislikes?
You are so knowledgeable.
Great no nonsense instructions and information.
Great tone and great video!
Thanks.
This was actually extremely informative. Thank you.
Dude, excellent video!! I've been trying to figure out the FX Loop thing for quite awhile now. Thank you so much for the instructional info...now I got my rig set up for the home recording that I want to do!!!! THANK YOU!!!
Great idea with the volume pedal. I'm using a helix into my evh5150 using the four cable method and I found I can achieve the same result with the helix volume control. Got the amp cranked and sounding awesome but without deafening myself.
Excellent video, buddy! I already use the effects loop, but the trick with the volume pedal for practicing was great! Thanks!
Thanks for showing this with the amps and pedals, makes it easy to understand. Cheers
God bless you dude, finally someone breaks this down!!!
Wow this is a great video. I was just wondering how to use the effects loop on my amp. Keep up the great work. Your videos are top notch.
Why did it take me until now to stumble across this video??!! Fantastic, thank you!
Thanks Phillip! This makes more sense than anything I have seen!!!
Brilliant! Again, Phil, thank you! After all these years, I didn't even put it together to use a volume pedal in the effects loop to throttle the volume of a fully cranked tube amp. You sir, are a scholar and a gentleman.
Alastair Tilley well let's have tea then. Pip pip !
Roger oeae 🤣
One of many questions, demystified!!! My list of questions are getting smaller! Again, Thank you Phil!!!
Rich Nakatsu it's nice whittlin' down the pile of the age old questions that musicians have wanted/needed to kno' !
Thanks! Now I can overdrive my Mark V without blowing out the windows. Yours is the first discussion I’ve seen of volume pedals in the effects loop.
Thanks for that info, useful to know about the pedal volume control for pushing the amp but keeping it quieter.
A simple analogy is so useful…got it. Thanks man!
i already knew the purpose of the effects loop, but had never considered the volume pedal trick before. great idea. thanks.
Great and easy to understand explanation!
Thank you so much for the info! I wish I knew that fx loop + volume pedal trick back when I was gigging!
awesome videos. love the way you explain things.
Bloody great explanation man! Thanks so much!
Right on Phillip. Thanks for this. I never truly understood this.
Very well done, sir!
Good video Philip, never knew what that effects loop was for until I stumbled through here!
The volume pedal trick in the effects loop is something I've never thought of. Clever boy Phil. I approve wholeheartedly.
Cool idea ! using the loop and volume pedal as an attenuator/solo boost. You do really good advisable.Thanks !
Excellent, very informative. You helped me a lot
Awesome info... I'm definitely trying that out, volume pedal in the loop, excellent
Thx very much for that explanation, it helped clarify something for me....much appreciated.
Again, a great instructional video from Phillip, this time about fx loops and how to use it, although I found it a little unclear about the over priced power soaks, compared the to the performance of a simple volume pedal. Thank you for the explanation.
Wow someone finally gave a straight answer, thank you so much
That volume pedal hack is superb! Especially as I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW I HAD AN FX LOOP!!! Pre-amp out, good lord!
That amp isn't cranked, only the preamp valves are, the heavenly juice is on the power tubes. Otherwise you could just run a overdrive pedal with a 12ax7 and you'd be good
for those that didn't understand his explanation think of your amps front panel as a sentence. So you start reading at one end and finish at the other. If your input is at the left you start there and if your input is at the right you start there. I have a Marshall TSL Combo so my input is at the left. Then everything is in line after that. They don't all go to an output at the same time. So you start at the left. (I Will leave out a few buttons to make it less confusing). - input - gain - volume - Bright button - treble - mid - bass. Then it goes into the crunch or lead distortion channels which take over from clean when selected and it goes the same - lead - v0lume treble - mid - bass - Then it goes to the effects like reverb - Presence - effect - reverb. Then out to the speaker ...or simplified down. input/volume/EQ/Distortion/EFX and loop/ Reverb/ out. So your loop is any effect you put in it and will be after the distortion and before the reverb. pretty much all amps are set up this way.
*Stares down at mustang amp, sees the exact path (only small differences) described.* Mind Blown
Great explanation
Thanks for the video. It was really helpful.
Thanks for the clarification, I had it all backwards with the effects loop.
Great video. keep up the good work!
You can also use the FX send on an amp to send it to a power amp of your choice, effectively using the 1st Amp as a Pre AMp only. I got a great result doing this to a little Orange Micro Dark where all the goodness is in the Valve Preamp section but not in it`s cheap solid state Power amp, sending out from the loop bypasses the 1st Amps power amp ( and you don`t need a dummy load on the Micro Dark cos the power amp isn`t valve ) I sent it to a Marshall 120/120 Power amp and the result was reallly good !
This is gold, wow great info
Perfect man! Thanks for that!
awesome info man, cheers
This is the best I have seen on effects loops. Would really lie to see the set up though. I am a visual learner on this stuff and need to see the looped pedals set up/ Thanks for this video.
Thanks for this info, it’s hard to look it up because we are all sopped to all read know this but it did not until I finally found this and now I know, thank you
Thanks for this! I Finally understand!
i learned so much thank you
Great Vid brother...you taught an old dog some new tricks!
Thank you!..simple,complete..
Thank you for the time and knowledge ...
Luv the vids n hacks!! Keep up the good work!!
For years I was satistied with my epiphone les paul and line 6 POD 2 and a little practic amp. When I recently got back into guitar this effects loop confused me... I figured it out thankfully but this video would have been great about a year ago.. haha... thanks for again posting great stuff!
Great video. I really appreciate it. Thanks
Gzuz finally a simple and good explanation!!!
Thanks man!
Great explanation. Thanks.
Great! that thing with the volume pedal is great!
Hey man thanks for a great video.. very clear and easy to understand as everyone else has said.
Just one question about the volume pedal... is it low impedance or high impedance?
Thanks
Thanks for this simple explanation. I just got a PRS mt15 which is stupid loud. Its my first amp that has an fx loop so im gonna try my eq pedal in there and try to get the volume lower
Thanks for explaining this. I've never used an effects loop before but i recently bought an older Peavey Solo Series Bandit 112 to mess around with and was wondering how to use the effects loop properly. By the way your Mesa sounds wonderful!
Great video, really informative!
Thanks alot I just picked up an old fender stage lead 212 and that's exactly how mine is
Very nice! Thank you
Great video! Thanks!
Thx for the awesome tip Phillip....my question is in relation to volume pedal order as I current have in the effects loop of my mini rectifier; clean boost-tremolo-noise suppressor-delay-reverb. Thx
wow. today i learned.
thank you
Thank you Phil !
FINALLLYYYYYYY someone who knows how to explain, thankssss
I have a Peavey Classic 50-212, which has a big, husky Clean channel with way too much headroom. (The Lead channel breaks up easily but also needs to be pushed in order to sound natural.) I had always wanted to get organic breakup out of the Clean channel, so I tried your method. I inserted my custom-made, top-secret Screamer clone into the loop and cranked both volumes on the top panel of the amp. Voila! Bingo! Damn it! THIS WORKS! I got beautiful, syrupy tone, which I could augment by dialing in distortion via the pedal. Interestingly, it also did something to the reverb circuit. The Classic 50 has just a two-spring unit, so I've tended to set it at 10 (out of 12). Well, I guess the reverb is output-dependent, because I had to turn it down to 6. Anyway, thanks for an excellent workaround. Other Tubers have said, "The overdrive pedal should always go into the guitar input on your amp," but you've shown that isn't true.
Wow - didn't know about the volume pedal in the FX loop thing! That is cool 👌🤠👌
Thanks! I have a 100 Watt head that I've been considering selling because it's way to loud for home. Didn't realize I could run a volume pedal through the effects loop to tame the volume.
Course those 25 Mesa heads sound real sick! I would love to get one.
VERY helpful thanks!
Great Video - Thanks !
great video thanks
