CreepyMo Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I have to move my speaker cab to our practice space so at home I'll only be stuck with my amp head. However, my amp (Marshall JVM-1) has a return/send FX Loop and a Line Out. Is there a way I could set up a config like this: Guitar -> Firehawk (fx pedals, etc) -> Amp -> Firehawk (speaker emulation) -> headphones (profit). I'm a rookie with gear and don't want to blow anything up, but I'd love to be able to use my real amp but the Firehawk for all other pieces. Thanks!!!! -CM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phil_m Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 You can use the cab models without an amp selected, so that part is doable. And as long as you put the FX loop block before the amp block, I think you could get the signal flow you want. The thing that might be a deal-breaker in your case, though, is the amp itself. You would still need to have a speaker or some load connected to it when you have it on, otherwise you will damage the output transformer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CreepyMo Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Haha...I was so excited until that last bit you wrote. But it makes sense. The amp is only .1 watt (or 1 watt if i'm feeling rowdy) but probably not worth the risk since it was so overpriced. I'll look into a smaller, more NYC apartment friendly cab.
