Hi, just curious if I can just put a patch cable between the send and return on my effects loop and use that as a boost via my footswitch? No level control on the effects loop on a SS22... Dose this work?

Hi jason1978,

Nothing wrong with jumping the effects loop with an instrument cable. But as far as getting a boost, I wouldn't think so, but try and see what you get. You are adding two op amps to the circuit when using the loop (two halves of the same chip), and many have found that this will detract from the sound, or "tone robbing" so to speak. But there is absolutely no harm to be done to the amp using a cable in the loop. Try and let us know if you think that it is better or worse. :idea:

Por favor, disculpe mi español, no se llega a la práctica con mucha frecuencia.
