Right. I have the American Sound and the UD, with the aim of choosing one to transfer into a 1/2 rack box. Whichever one I do, I was hoping to then run it in the effects loop of my amp, so everything can stay patched in.

I plug the American in (to the effects loop) and it behaves exactly the same as when run in front of an amp. Plug the UD in and when you switch it on there is a significant drop in level. I run the level at about 9 o'clock when running it in front of an amp, but in an effects loop, it is well up over 1 o'clock! It isn't noisy or dull sounding - it just needs a heap more level. I have tried it in both my Eden WT800, and also my Sunn 1200s, with the same result.

Is this an impedance matching issue? Just would like to know what is at play here!

Cheers!

UD, British Sound and Analog delay. I think i like the British a bit more than the UD, but both are great. I almost never use the chorus, delay or flanger, but the entire board cost me less than $200 so its kind of fun to just have them there to goof around with. What should i use to fill that big giant empty spot on the top left corner?
 
i use a squier VM P, rounds, standard tuning (99% of the time) and to my (not so great) ear there is maybe a tiny bit of loss from the bottom end, but not much, still plenty of thunder available. Not sure how it would affect how you sit in a mix, as i haven't used it in a band situation yet.
Thank you for using the word 'affect' and not 'impact'.
