Not that I experience but some guys have said they get better results running their modulation type pedals such as flangers, phasers, delays through the fx loop.
I do use a delay and sometimes a qtron. I wonder if it is really different?

I never tried running my pedals through the fx loop- sorry. Then again I never use timed based pedals either.I do use a delay and sometimes a qtron. I wonder if it is really different?
Say to myself, I don't need a backup, I don't need a backup, I don't need a backup, I don't need a backup, I don't need a backupI have a rumble v3 500 head up for sale in classifed section if interested.

Does it work this way though? I'm pretty sure plugging into fx send disengages the power amp from your signal (you have to plug in to fx return to re-engage it)So--I found a local 500C for a great price. I know I can couple 2 500C's together via the effects loop from one to the input in the second. 700 watts and redundancy--win/win.
I run my pedal board through the effects loop and will lose that ability. Does this really matter?

So..finally the second Cab came today. What a neat little, powerful Rig this is.....ah..I didn't have a Number yet...

I'm pretty sure it doesn't. Right now I have the FX send connected to my tuner, and nothing in the FX return. I can hear the amp just fine![]()
Maybe not popular to say in a Fender thread but that Yamaha is freakin' sweet
Controls on 40 & 100 silimar. Consider the 100 if you want an effects loop. I have a 40. To practice hammer ons overdrive hard right then some level.Test a Rumble V3 40 and 100 combo at GC yesterday , good tone and quite loud for their small size , the 100 have thicker Low-End . But i dint bring one of them home because......... both sound have no soul like my previous Rumble V3 200/150 . Rumble 200/150 combo still the best for me.
The only pedal I use is a Diamond compressor, bass=>diamond=>Rumble. I think it complements the Rumble nicely, thickens the overall tone and adds a certain something that the diamonds are known for.Is anyone running a Joyo American into their Rumble V3? Or would this be redundant running a “fender” into a fender? I still haven’t gotten a chance to play with a lot of tones on my new 500, but I will Saturday at practice. Til then I’m just stuck at work and can’t do anything but shop for things I don’t need lol
I’m just curious as to what pedals people are using with their rumbles to get some warm woolly dirt. Or suggested tone settings I can start with. I’ve checked the tone pool, but it seems to be sparse.
I know this is more of an effects question, but thought it might be relevant here since it’s stacking with the rumbles tone.
I think you might try experimenting with the Vintage button on and some OD. Also, crank the gain up high and pull the master down some to compensate. Remember, these Rumbles can get really loud.Is anyone running a Joyo American into their Rumble V3? Or would this be redundant running a “fender” into a fender?

My personal experience is that effects pedals which have a strong "touch response" (where you can change the effect depending on how you play) do better in front of the amp, and effects which are more or less a constant effect (like, say, a chorus) are fine in the FX loop (though I still run them in front, becuase it's more convenient for my setup).I do use a delay and sometimes a qtron.

I can't give any advice regarding pedals. I don't use them. I'm not against them. I just never found a need for them for what I do.
