urbanspaceblast 12 Posted November 23, 2015 Activate the FX Loop and assign it to a switch. This is will be your Blackstar preamp. Then edit the FX Loop block and raise the mix to 100%. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wilso31 0 Posted November 23, 2015 Will this allow me to use my distortion from my blackstar? Do I have to turn cabs off etc or will doing this bypass the amps? Thanks for reply Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
urbanspaceblast 12 Posted November 23, 2015 What I described will allow you to switch between an amp model and your Blackstar by hitting the loop footswitch. The cab setting is up to you, just try some options and choose what works for you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
