4.2 THE TOUR REVERB AND FX DEVICES
The TOUR REVERB is equipped with a parallel FX loop. The pro-
cessed signal is blended with the preamp signal so that the dry
signal remains audible during the brief delays that nearly
always result when you switch your multieffects processor from
one effect to another. This feature prevents sonic drop-out. The
FX LOOP knob controls the dry/wet mix.
NOTE: As a rule of thumb, you'll get the best sound out of
a signal processor when you set the device so that it processes
as much of the signal as possible (i.e. set the Balance of the FX
processor itself to 100% effect) and then use the FX LOOP knob
on the amp to blend the guitar preamp signal with the proces -
sed signal.
CONNECTING EFFECTS DEVICES:
• Connect the FX SEND jack of the amp to the input of your
effects device and the FX RETURN jack of the amp to the
output of your effects device.
• Activate the FX LOOP via the FX LOOP switch, provided of
course you have connected a footswitch.
• Adjust the FX LOOP to match the input level of your effects
device. The FX LOOP is designed to work with the standard
line level of 19" effects processors. While you're adjusting the
level, be sure to keep an eye on whatever type of level
meter, gain indicator or overload lamp the effects device is
equipped with.
NOTE: When you're trying to dial in a suitable signal level, you'll
find that it's harder to come up with good results when you're
using a multieffects processor that features an on-board pre -
amp (actually, any kind of signal boosting circuit) but does not
allow you to patch in signals post-preamp and pre-effects
section. The reason for this is that when you have connected
this type of processor to an FX LOOP, the signal is being routed
through two preamps in series. Effects devices that are not
equipped with this type of "preamp" are better suited for use in
conjunction with effects loops because response is more
dynamic and sound quality considerably better. If you happen
to have one of these everything-but-the-kitchen-sink boxes
cluttering up the house and understandably want to use it, try
to dial in the most dynamic clean sound that you are able to
come up with at the effects device.
If you want to access other "preamp" sounds that the effects
device is able to generate, we recommend you use a separa-
te looper or switcher to switch between the two preamps. If
you prefer to use exclusively the effects processor's sounds, no
problem—you can circumvent the preamp of the TOUR
REVERB. For this purpose, connect the Output of the effects
device directly to the FX Return jack of the amp's FX LOOP.
• Dial in the desired balance between dry and wet signals via
the FX LOOP knob located on the front panel of the amp
(towards 0 = more of the original signal, towards 10 = more
effects signal).
