Has anyone compared the tone of using a 1) direct signal to an external preamp's guitar input returning to the x3 fx return to 2) plugging into the x3 directly, then sending the fx send to the external preamp's guitar input returning to the x3 fx return?
How does sending a line signal from the x3 fx loop to an input of a guitar amp or pre-amp that is intended for a guitar signal affect tone? anyway to compensate for that?
THANKS
Hi there.
Some people use the 4 Cable Method for connecting the pod *and* a guitar preamp. However, either the pod modeling *or* the preamp are active in a patch, usually, since stacking preamp is not something people has had a lot of good experiences with.
Concerning the FX loop send levels, the FX loop section on the manual (page 5.17 on my version) explains how to adjust send and return levels.
I have a question concerning this... I bought a Peavey Mini Colossal JSX... it has an effects send/return. To my understanding, stuff like wah pedals and a whammy pedal should go direct into the amp, whereas the Pod X3 Live and other digital effects (I have a delay and eventide pitch factor unit) go through the amp's send/return for best effect. Is this what others have found?
