VT Deluxe Loop

#22
I'm happy to report that with instructions from @tech21nyc I was able to eliminate the bottom-end drop out with loop engaged. Noice! :thumbsup:

Oh, I also had to beef up the VT eq on the patches with the loop on as it loses a bit of bottom end with the loop engaged. @tech21nyc any comments?

We recommend time based effects like reverb, delay, chorus etc to be used in the effects loop. The loop is post SansAmp circuitry so running distortion devices in the loop is not advised. The loop should be compatible with most stomp boxes. There will be a difference in sound in certain applications and the best thing to do is experiment and go with what works best for your application.

I've used the Tech 21 Bass Boost Chorus in my VTBD's effects loop for a year and noticed that it generated distortion, in some presets more than others, but always popping on the E string. I've tried using it on the out of the VTBD between it and the power amp, but there was also distorting (Except if you put 1/4 Boost in the -10db position). But the problem here is that the effect doesn't come out of the XLR output. Conclusion, I should have connected the Chorus to the Parallel out of the VTBD and after the Chorus out to the FX return. It seems the best option. Any comments?

I still hate the loop ;). I’m not a fan of loops in general, but if it works for you, so be it.

But the problem here is that the effect (chorus) doesn't come out of the XLR output. Finally, I have connected the Chorus to the Parallel out of the VTBD, and after that from the Chorus out to the FX return. In this case the Chorus dont distort, but there is a great loss o volume. Any sugestion?
