sansamp connection to Peavey minimega head

[Blender02]

Quick question: Should I input my sansamp into the front input jack of this head or into the back FX loop return. I heard mixed responses. Just curious. I really like the tone of my new Minimega head being run through a Peavey headliner 410 but will use the Sansamp to fine tune the sound.

Thanks.........

Try both. See what sounds better. It could sound better or not so much either way depending on how you are going to use it in a given situation.

The FX loop sometimes sounds better, but the front of the amp may offer some useful EQ to help compensate for loss of frequencies from using a bass cab instead of an FRFR rig, so you can EQ your cab sound seperately from your FOH sound…. Depends on how much the amp in question colors your tone.

Been using a BDDI for 20 years and always run it between my bass and the amp, not in the FX loop on either of my amps.

Thanks for all of the input. I played with it this week and I like the sound better running it between the bass and the front of my amp instead of the fx loop but I can't seem to get rid of the hissing from my amp. I tried a humno but that didn't seem to change anything. Always something else to figure out.

Thank you everybody for the help. After speaking with Peavey, they are sending me a replacement head. Hopefully no more problems.

Keep us posted. I am friends with the engineer who designed the head at Peavey.
