Can you hook up a multi-effects guitar pedal into a tube amp?
I have a Zoom G1X multi-effect guitar pedal. It worked well with my previous solid-state amp. I recently got a Bugera tube amp. I tried hooking it up into the FX Loop in the back and it did not work. Would I be able to hook it up in front with no problems, or do I have to use FX Loop?

Dazed - i have performed with each rig you could imagine of - from complicated mix of pedalboard and rack kit to my own fashionable... a guitar, a cord, and an amp (with my trusty Roland area Echo sitting on good of the amp) the priority is , your VOX unit duplicates the more than a number of function of your twin-channel amp. It even has its own tube pre-amp. you rather do not even choose a guitar amp in line with se - you ought to purely run your VOX into your blending board and performance the sound guy pipe the output back into your level show screen. no longer declaring that must be better - yet you ought to. What it needs ideally is to manage to assign a number of its effects to an output that you would run into the enter jack on your amp... and others (chorus, put off) ought to paintings better in case you ought to pipe those into the outcomes loop of your amp. yet you won't be able to do this. you could substitute the order of the FX inner to the VOX, yet all of them look on an similar output jacks. The VOX does have a swap that adjustments the output curve of the unit counting on what sort of amp you're plugging it into - so the modeled effects of the VOX are not "walking on" what the amp already is doing. yet base line - you do not rather have any selection the thanks to hook it up. to ensure that any of the amp/head fashions to paintings wisely, it has to pass in-line between your guitar and your amp. What you may do, and what i ought to do - is save the amp on the clean channel even as utilising the amp/cupboard fashions in the Vox. So now you've even extra "amp" sounds. you've the organic distortion of your lead channel, the organic clean of your clean channel, and then in spite of modeled distortion you want to create operating from the Vox into the clean channel of you amp. when you're gentle with that - start up taking area in round with how those modeled settings sound on the "dirt" fringe of you amp as well. playstation - even with all those "fashions" you've ... i imagine the purely properly sound you'll locate is your amp's lead channel per chance with rather put off . Modeled sounds "sound" reliable, yet they don't react on your %. attack like the real ingredient. i imagine you'll like the "immediately in" sound of your guitar and amp the purely properly. reliable luck. desire that enables.
