Shuttle 6.0 Question/Concern

I'll bet you are smelling something else, maybe some club stank or something?

Yes, I can hear "The Ladies Man" saying that!

You know exactly what it is when you smell it. Even after 20 years of not working clubs I can smell even a whiff of it.

Oh so true.

Cool. Thanks for the input everyone. I think I get what the effects loop is all about now. I can add effects that require line level input, correct? I've never been a pedal guy before. Off I go to disconnect my tweeter.

Depends entirely on what you are trying to achieve. Compressors are probably the most common effect, but only if you want a compressed sound.

If you choose to disconnect the tweeter, be sure the wires are insulated from each other and not able to touch anything else in the cabinet of flop into the back of the speaker basket where it could tough the cone and cause a mechanical buzz.

as a rule of thumb- time based effects (flanger, chorus, delay) reverbs, compression etc. are great in the loop. Overdrives, wahs, distortion etc. are better in front of the amp.

I hope this helps.

Note that anything used in the effects loop needs to be line level capable. Many pedals are not, therefore must be used in front of the amp.

The most common processing used in a bass amp loop is compression, and there are lots of good line level compressors... like the DBX-160, 166, 163 etc.

I use the 166XL in my home studio.....FWIW.
