Hey out there!
If I want a volume boost, can I safely use the effect loop
On my amp to do this when there is nothing plugged into
The in/out on the effects loop?
I set my in and out volume to 6, so when I hit the effects
Button on the footswitch, presto- volume boost

Will this hurt my amp?
Thanks!

I don't think it will do anything at all. That volume control will amplify the signal coming from the effects, not the "dry" sound of your guitar. Please, someone correct me if I'm wrong.

i dont think i explained this quite right-
I don't use my effects loop -
so as of now, nothing is plugged in to my in/out effects loop
When I'm playing in a song and i go into a solo, I depress the "effects"
button on my amp's footpedal AND this gives me a BOOST in volume.
My rig is mostly just Guitar to Amp, nothing else.
So my question is,

Will this hurt the amp, knowing no cord is plugged into the effects loop input jacks?

Thanks - sorry about the confusion fog.....
