Hi,
I have a spider valve 112 (not mkII, the original one) with a FBV pedalboard.
I'd like to insert external effects pedals betwwen the preamp and amp ; so I could use the preamp modelisations and drive knob of the spider valve to get clear or heavy sound, and add external effects as compressor or chorus after the preamp.
I tried with the "preamp out" and "power amp in" connections in this configuration :
guitar --> spider valve guitar input --> preamp output --> effects pedals --> power amp in --> my ears :)
the last part of the chain was not very happy (my ears ...) because of no sound !
reading the manual, I see preamp output is off when power amp in is used ; quite strange for an effect loop ...
With this conf :
guitar --> effects pedals --> power amp in --> my ears
I get sound, but the FBV pedalboard is not used anymore. I mean the FBV is used by the preamp stage ?
Is there any pb with my amp ? if not, how can I insert external effects between preamp and amp with the spider valve 112 AND get sound in my ears :) ?
Thanks a lot for your help,
