    I just picked one of these up and like it but when I switch between clean and OD channels on this carvin amp I am using it pretty much goes away when I hit the clean side. If I set it to sound good on the OD side, when I switch to clean, it is way over the top. I am waiting n a new Granger Amp and I am wondering, Will it work better in the effects loop and be a little more consistant. Has any one used this unit in the loop?

    Thanks

    Reverbs always (except for surf music and experimental stuff maybe) go in the FX loop (or after overdrive – if you don’t use overdrive on your amp, you can put it in front of your amp, the difference is not that big) – it’s more even, the reverb time and amount is the same etc…I have the Cathedral (basically holy grail with more options) and it’s far better in the loop (the last thing in the loop – I like it after delay)…

    reverbs at the end of your chain, unless you are in the 80’s, in which case you can have a compressor + gate after it.

    It is at the end of the chain. I just had the big DUHHH!! When I go to the OD channel it is basically ahead of the drive……..I knew that!

    I cant use the loop on the Carvin. As soon as you plug something in you loose about 15% of your signal and the tone goes to crap. The new Granger Amp wont have this problem.

    Thanks
