cgar18 Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Im using a ibanez ts7 yes ts7 got it years ago for 30.00 sounds pretty good so I deceided to put it in my effects loop but when I engage the effects loop but not the pedal I still hear a bit of a boost is that normal?

Cody_smith Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 If what I just read is correct the TS7 has a bypass buffer. That could be doing it. If you need to make sure the sound is unity gain even when the ts7 pedal itself is off you can turn the return signal down for the loop block.

CraigGT Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Like Cody said you can adjust the levels but wouldn't you normally just leave the TS on and switch the loop on and off when you don't need it? That way your signal isn't going through the pedal when it's not needed. Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig yeah thats the weird thing the pedal was off and it still gave me a boost its not bad I just thought it was weird because it is off and when I shut the loop off it turns off that bit of boost.Thank you I will turn down the return a bit,maybe haha thanks agin.
