Just picked up this awesome amp today - quick question - can I use regular stomp box guitar effects in the amp's effects loop? Is this a line level loop that is safe to use with stompboxes? Or is the loop meant for rack mounted guitar effects? :?:

Hi Unadan,

Yes, you can use just about any effects in the loop that you want, pedals or rack mounted. I know that some effects work better on the input jacks, and some are better in the loop. Things like delays may be better in the loop, and distortion pedals may be better in the input jack. I have the HRDlx I and have used the loop for a DOD VGS pedal board, but now I use a POD into the input jack. :)

Time based pedals are good in the loop. Echo, Phase Shifter, Flanger, and Chorus. Distortion pedals are better when used between the guitar and guitar input. I rarely use an effects loop. Most of my amps never had an effects loop. YMMV

Thanks for your replies. This is a great sounding amp! I'm very pleased with the improvements Fender has made to this amp - especially the Celestion speaker.
