SERIES EFFECTS LOOP – this consists of the Send
and Return jack sockets, Level switch and Route switch.
The Send socket supplies the preamp output (channel
A and channel B) signal to feed the input of your remote
effects system, whilst the Return socket connects the
output of your effects back into the amplifier circuit. Please
remember that the loop is of the “series” type, so that the
entire signal is sent and returned back to the amplifier.
The Level switch has Low and High settings, the setting
of this will be determined by the performance quality of
your effects system, and also how loud the TCT amplifier
is set. Low is nominally a loop level of -10dBV, and High is
nominally 0dbV. Experiment with the Level switch to see
what suits your system best.
Effects Loops in general are designed to work with rack
type processors rather than floor stomp boxes. The
reason for this is that most floor pedals do not have
enough headroom to let the signal pass through without
causing the signal to distort unduly. Also loops are
designed for unity-gain systems (i.e. what goes in, comes
back out at the same amount of gain and signal level) and
are best suited for time based processors like chorusing
and delays, graphic EQ, and studio type compressors.
Definitely do not put gain type pedals (distortion overdrive
etc) in the loop – it really will not sound good, and be very,
very noisy! If you have a good floor type processor, then
by all means experiment for your time delay type effects –
use the low level – it may work, it may not!
The ROUTE switch when set to Bypass disables the Loop
circuit if not being used, which is best practise if not using
the effects loop.
