[QUOTE="Julia, post: 91411, member: 1784"] Effects loops are tube buffered. A volume pedal in the effects loop won't do any more than what you can already accomplish by lowering the output volume on the module, or by lowering the level on the master volume, which I believe is pre-phase inverter. There is no way you are going to engage the power tubes without both the channel volume level and the master volume levels over noon. At 2:00 you might start clipping the power tubes --- this actually can get dangerous for your amp, and I especially wouldn't try this with EL34s. Over noon on both is stupid loud. Most people today don't really like power distortion anyway. I once figured out I was using about 5W playing loud on my RM100 just going by sound level. How did I come to that? I heard a 5W Marshall Class 5 through a 412. It was too loud. Then again I'm getting too old. [/QUOTE]
