4 Cable Method with Stomp

[derbst]

Hi, i used the 4 cm to connect the stomp with my amp. Am i able to go first in the pre-amp and then use the send/return of the amp. In particular i want to edit the ampsound before going in the pre-amp and after the pre-amp each with an EQ. Is it possible with the Stomp and 4cm? If yes, which routing do i have to choose on the Stomp?

 

Thanks for answers.

Simplest explanation:

 

Global Settings>Ins/Outs>Return Type=RETURN

 

Guitar>HXS L/Mono Input>HXS FX (OD, Dist, Mods)>FX Loop L Block>TS Cable from HXS Send (TS=L/Mono) to Amp Input (amp pre)>

Amp FX Send>HXS L/Mono Return>HXS Time based FX (delay, reverb, Mods)>HXS L/Mono Out> Amp RETURN

 

You probably don't want to use an HXS amp/preamp into a physical amp's preamp (unless you're using an HXS preamp as an AIAB), but you can toggle an HXS amp/preamp so that the signal bypasses the physical amp's preamp by assigning both the HXS amp and the FX Send L block to the same FS, saved with one ON and the other OFF.

 

Whether or not you use a FULL HXS amp model or an HXS preamp in this second configuration is a matter of taste, no right or wrong there although the FULL amp model will be significantly louder than the preamp model.

Hi rd2rk,

 

thank you very much.

 

You are right. I am using the physical amp's preamp. It's the Diezel VH4s, which means i have a stereo signal. Strictly said it's a 5CM.

 

My chain in the HXS is now:

 

Global Settings>Ins/Outs>Return Type=RETURN

 

Distortion > EQ > FX Loop L/R > EQ > Mods > Output Main L/R

 

I'm curios to see how it works. I try it as soon as i get my amp from the servive.
