I don't know. As I said I really never got around to twaeking it. I did us it for awhile as it was (this w...

I did. Very transparent. Sounds very good. Though it did seem to drop the gain down a bit, the chacter of the amp stayed the same. I don't know if I wired it up wrong or if that's just the nature of the loop. I haven't been using any rack effects in awhile, and since I wired it to a switch to bring ...
