HX Stomp Into Amp FX Loop - 4CM

[kingdoublecut]

Just bought the HX Stomp to replace the delay/modulation half of my pedal board. I run my drives and pitch shifting into the front, delays/mods to the FX loop. Easy enough using an American Looper 4 input/output patch bay box. When Line 6 says 4CM compatible, it sold me on the Stomp. Well L6 4CM is not the same as my 4CM. Can anyone clarify whether I can run the Stomp only into the amps fx loop (and whether I need to add the FX Loop block to each patch to do so) or not.

 

I am going to sell it if it doesn't do what I want. It may be the HX Effects is what I should have bought, but the ability to use the Stomp as my entire rig if my amp went down was a nice perk...

I would appreciate any info you can share.

You just want to put the Stomp in your amp’s effects loop? Yes, you can certainly do that. You don’t need to use an loop block to do that. You just connect the amp’s FX send to the Stomp’s guitar in and the Stomp’s output to your amp’s FX return.

If your amp's FX loop is Instrument level (intended to go to stomp type pedals), set the Stomp's Input/Output levels to Inst. If it's intended for rack units, set the Stomp's I/O to Line.

OK - yes standard 4CM works as it should. Found that the realo problem was I didn't have enough power fed to it from my Cioks DC7 - caused a popping/fluttering sound. Thanks for the input phil_m and rd2rk!
