A/B BOX AND EFFECTS LOOP.

[stompfrog]

Hello All

I am currently in the process of setting up a new fx loop.

If i have the fx loop send of my head sent to an A/B box with [A] leading through my fx and back to the fx loop return and leading to absolutley nothing; will i be able to drop the whole fx loop in and out using the a/b box?

Will this work ok or will there be a drop in sound when the signal is sent to and is never returned.

see the picture at the following link to clear up what i am talking about.

in relation to the picture: Depending on if your effects loop is parallel or series, switching the A/B box to the "nothing" will either lower the volume of your sound or make your sound completely dissapear. As soon as u plug a cable into the effects return on your amp, you amp knows u have an effects loop and it always expects THE signal to return to the amp via the effects loop return.

What u prolly need is a looper pedal, not an a/b pedal. like: http://www.loooper.com/1Looopers.htm

does that make sense? heh

I understand that I will lose signal when i select I kind of supected that already.

however... i dont fully get what the looper does. what do you plug in where??

like this? dropping the top loop in and out when you stomp??
