Hey everyone!
I get asked this question a lot - Should you run your Ampero, GE200, (insert product here) into the effects loop or the input of my amplifier. what if I dont have an effects loop, can I still run them into the input? In this video I show you a few different options for hooking up your Ampero, ge200, etc. and what the differences are. Hopefully this will help you figure out how you want to use your effects!

So if I'm running it through the Effects Return on an amp with only one tube (Joyo Bantamp series), am I just bypassing the tube altogether and only getting the solid state power section?

@TVoltG 3 года назад

I have had some great success running my Helix Amp models, no cabs into the front of my 2009 JCM2000 DSL100 Clean Channel. I run the clean gain around 3 o'clock. Still very very clean. Then run the master volume high, I run it at 5, doing this gives the modelers plenty of headroom, run your eq on the amp to taste, use the Helix/Modeler volume for your master. From low late night volumes to gig volumes, it crushes. Pretty amazing.

@spyware1100 3 года назад

How do you manage the hum? If I use the fx loop return with a multieffect pedal, the poweramp is at max volume (control the volume with the effect), so the base noise is at max, amplified. Noisy setup can be a pain, even with noise gate enalbed on the multieffect.

Come out of my send of my effects loop to the input of the ampero come out of the left output of the ampero into the return of the amp.I have the guitar plugged into the input of the blackstar.thats all he said.

I have an Ampero and a Marshall studio vintage combo. Confused on best way to connect all. I had assumed I would connect guitar to amp, and then use send from amp to input of Ampero, and output of Ampero into the return of amp effects loop, is that all wrong? Should it be guitar plugged into Ampero input, and the output of Ampero connects to return of the amp's effects loop? I've never used effects before so it's new ground for me 😀

Hey Taylor. Awsome review. Really love your vids. I am really thinking of buying the ge 200 because of your reviews cause you are the only one doing them really in depth. What i wanted to ask is, i have a boss katana 50 which does not habe an fx loop. Would it sound really crappy if i just went through the input of my boss katana? Or maybe if i set everything clean on the modellig amp could i use all those amps and cabs of the ge 200? P.s. I also have some other boss multi effect pedal boards and they actually work pretty well. Greeting from Germany dude. Keep it metal🤘

@TaylorDanley 4 года назад

Thanks! I appreciate that. 🙌 Most likely, if you are running in through the input of your katana it's going to sound weird. You're essentially running a preamp through an additional preamp. If you dont have an fx loop, and want to use it through a cabinet, I'd suggest getting a power amp or frfr speaker for the best results. However if you just wanted to use the fx and bypass the amp and cab blocks, that would be ok. Your post effects like delay and reverb may be a little weird.

@@TaylorDanley Been looking for this video bcs I also don't know whats the best situation for this.

A good solid state amp? To be honest, I dont really know since I use a combination of modelers and power amps.. I did check out a orange cr120 that sounded really good a while back. It was also super affordable if I remember correctly!

My amp only has the option for the direct guitar input? So it’s always gonna sound bad then? Is there anything I can do it make it sound good?

@TaylorDanley 4 года назад

It really limits your options to effects that would traditionally run in front of an amplifier. I would suggest picking up a power amp. You can find them relatively inexpensive, especially used.

@TaylorDanley 4 года назад

🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 I might be able to do that. I have a lot to get through in the next couple weeks, but I'll keep this in mind.

@Unknownn_nx3 4 года назад

Taylor Danley so if I set everything flat on my amp controls except the master volume would that make any difference to the sound? Would it just be the multi effect sound coming that comes through?

@TaylorDanley 4 года назад

@@Unknownn_nx3 No. It might help, but the issue is that when you go through an effects unit into the input, you are running all those effects through the preamp stage of your amplifier, which is why it sounds weird. Many effects like delay and reverb are much better after your preamp

@Unknownn_nx3 4 года назад

Taylor Danley what if I didn’t use any of the cabs or amps but just used the effects on the pedal? Would the effects still sound like what they’re intended to sound like?

@scottdunn2178 4 года назад

I run an Ampero through the Classic Gain (clean) channel of a Marshall JCM 2000 DSL 100. It sounds really good running into the effects loop return and just using it as a power amp. Running through the Classic Gain channel you're getting the tone shift (mid scoop), and deep switch, along with the tone controls, so this signal path sounds best. Think Akira Takasaki meets Wolf Hoffmann. Killer tone if I do say so myself.

@TaylorDanley 4 года назад

@Unknownn_nx3 3 года назад

Taylor Danley If I just wanted to use the distortion and amp sims on a mooer ge 200 could i connect it to the front of the amp? And leave my eq settings on my amp clean and the knobs all on 5 o’clock? Or would it sound better through the fx loop for distortions and cab sims?

@scottdunn2178 3 года назад

@@TaylorDanley Nice to see you reply to replies in a timely manner. In front of the amp or through the fx loop is highly subjective, and is different from amp to amp, and what sounds better in one amp might not sound better in another amp. Regards 🎸

@Joeytemper 3 года назад

how would you use your amp with no cab? Head - Ampero - Interface? can you explain how where to plug what please? :)

@fernandocj 7 месяцев назад

Most amp heads need to be connected to a cab (unless it has a "defeat" option). Only if that's the case, you could run your amp head's FX SEND through the Input of the Ampero and use the onboard CAB SIMS or IR. Ampero is by itself a Sound interface. You don't need an extra one.

@jasoncohran7265 4 года назад

Taylor, want to have the ultimate control over your sound? I just tried this today and I thought of you because I know you have both too. Run your guitar into Ampero, then out of Ampero into Mooer Ge200 and then out to your effects loop return. You already have your patch going on the Ampero, then turn on the eq on the Ge 200 and adjust to taste and thank me later :)

@TaylorDanley 4 года назад

Daisy chaining effects units? 🤔🤔🤔 interesting proposition. Do you not like the EQ in the Ampero?

@jasoncohran7265 4 года назад

Taylor Danley oh no, I love the ampero eq, but what I am describing makes the Mooer become a global eq...does that make sense?So you end up having another dimension of control.. I tried it and it really sounded good through my 6505+ 112 combo.

@jasoncohran7265 4 года назад

Actually, after I commented I tried just running an eq pedal after the ampero as a global eq and it worked just the same .. but using the Mooer, even the compressor on the Mooer after the Ampero makes it a global compressor that compresses everything together, delays and reverb.. which I haven’t tried yet but should work in theory

It's an excellent unit for using it by itself or a with a few pedals in front, but would not be my choice if i was using it with an actual amp. The Ampero II Stomp would suit that task better. I actually use it for gigging on a pedalboard as the main unit, straight into the PA or mixer.

You would need an effects loop in the ampero (which I dont think it has), and use the 4 cable method.

Back in 2009, I bought Line6 PODxt. I was totally John Snow because... I knew nothing about the signal chain and all of these shit and most importantly I had none to inform me. So, I went into a studio with my newly-trying-to-be-formed rock band, I put the PODxt in front of a Peavey (if I remember correctly) and... DISASTER! Which is the lightest way to describe the result. It's good to explain the basics, there are always new/young guitarists who should know them.

ampero doesnt allow for the 4 cable method, the ideal way is to connect the effect processor like you would connect a pedalboard: (pedalboard) distortion/boost----> (amp) preamp---> (ped) other effects---> (amp) poweramp if you dont have it you could do the way you show it

@bivotarshamble3672 Год назад

Bull shit man ! Running to the front could easily be done. You did not even attempt to dial in any settings inside the processor. You could warp together the tones from your amplifiers preamp with many other possibilities within your effects processor. A lot of amps and processors have warping amps together already. It is just a matter of taking the actual time to do so. The effects loop is not always the best solution, regardless of what other you tube musicians may have you believe. Just saying. Still...
