Effects loop and IR block placement

Recommended Posts

    Does the IR block go directly after the amp+cab block.  I have external drives > input of hx stomp>amp+cab block.  Then I split signal to effects loop.  Out of send> external verbs and delays> back to stereo return > IR block> stereo 

    Something isn’t sounding right with my drives...almost like in a tin can...i can’t eq my way out of it...I see all these videos of nice tones but I can’t get it...I can’t get a nice bite on my drives it’s flat and smooth..no attack to my notes 

     Any suggestions on why?...something in my signal

path?

Use an IR after an Amp block, not an Amp+Cab, as an IR IS a cab, and you're running a cab through a cab. If you want to use an IR with a cab, use an Amp block vs Amp+Cab, then pull one of them (IR or Cab) down into a parallel path. That way they'll be blended vs running one into the other.

 

See if that helps with the drive sound.

Thanks I’ll see how it goes...it’s for a hx stomp...I’m basically using the hx stomp as an amp and some additional modulations...so I’m obviously limited with what I can do path wise...just want a nice clean tone....and for my external drives
