Lunatic Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Hi all and a Happy New Year to you. The general advice is to put a distortion effect / pedal in front of the amp input instead of in the effects loop. I got this Laney IRT-PULSE http://www.laney.co.uk/products/irt-pulse/ which is more of a valve preamp than your standard distortion pedal. I'm running a Mesa Express 5:25+ which has five 12AX7s and was thinking of adding the IRT in the loop to give me seven 12AX7s. More gain me thinks!! If the IRT works / sounds good in the loop, it will make it easier for me to wire up my pedal board. This thing has the I/O top & bottom instead of the sides which means I have to saddle it sideways to connect into the amp input. Just the way my board's set up. PIA. Will report back but would like to hear what you guys think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 In your case, if its the send & return loop, I doubt it'll make any difference. Can you hear a difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
