[QUOTE="audiomidijace, post: 149047, member: 2438"] I've been doing a lot of experimenting over the last year. Pickups, modules, Speaker cabs, clean boost pedals and FX. My rig sounds best when I plug directly in to my preamp and have nothing connected to my FX loop. I do jump the parallel loop and set the mix at full. It sounds wonderful. But the moment I put a clean boost pedal in front of my preamp that direct sound is gone when the pedal is bypassed. Same thing happens when I connect my TC Nova System in the series loop. Everything is set for optimum input and output levels, but my tone is seriously degraded. I get mediocre tone with really nice sounding FX. I suppose I can invest in another power amp and cabinet for a true wet/dry system, but I feel like I shouldn't have to! Is it the quality of the loop, the A/D & D/A of my digital FX or what? I also want to be able to use a clean boost and a wah pedal in front of my amp and not lose feel and tone. I don't know what to invest in to help with that. Any ideas? [/QUOTE]
