kyles3 Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Why do some of them have send/return blocks? I'm just running bass->HX Stomp->FRFR speaker with no other pedals, so are these send/return blocks actually doing anything, or can I just delete them? I did notice some of them are raising or lowering volume, so I was thinking maybe they're doing something in my case, but I'm not sure. I've never had an amp with an FX loop, so I don't understand all that stuff to begin with if I'm being honest. Second question is, I've noticed some of the presets utilize the stereo chorus. Am I getting a bad version of the effect using the stereo version through a mono setup? Should I just be replacing the block with a mono effect?

rd2rk Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 Factory presets are there for demonstration purposes and as learning tools. Should you choose to use them for performance (vs Best Practice - creating your own), delete what you don't need/modify as necessary. Some stereo FX don't sound right when collapsed to mono. Experiment. And... need I say it? READ THE MANUAL! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyles3 Posted July 1 Author Share Posted July 1 I'm reading the manual and watching YT tutorials, but hoo boy is there a lot to get my head around as a lifelong bass-straight-into-amp guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear that - I was you when I got my first Plug-in modeler - Amplitube 2, back in the digital stone-age. Hang in there. Us bass players are a lot smarter than guitar players give us credit for ;-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
