Yes, the preamp was the essential part to getting he qtron effect to work
Here’s my rig, still a work in progress. I leave the reverb on all the time, at least a little. When you turn off the bypass loop, the sound goes right to the looper, delay, and reverb. when the loop is on, the Q-tron and compressor come into the chain. Just leave them switched on all the time so when you open the loop it will kick in immediately, no extra stomping.
