From the "for what it's worth department"...
I'm going to relocate the Binary Star modulated-delay to post-ReVolt preamp and pre-Torpedo using the wet/dry stereo outs from the Binary Star (EBS Y Cable) to the 1/4" TRS input on the Torpedo.
The Torpedo has the DI XLR output AND a 1/4" TRS output. This will allow the effect mix control to really separate a solid fundamental (dry) sound with the EFX sound on top with it.
I still have plans for the effects loop....
When it comes preserving fundamentals, I'd say it's always worth it
