Re: question about send/return and looper connection



Hi Simeon,
I don't know where the effects send and return is in the Cyber Twin circuit, so I can't help you with that particular amp. Something that I find works best is to get a line out from the speaker signal--some amps have this. If it doesn't an attenuator or an impedance matcher will. I put time-based effects in my effects loop and put an attenuator or a weber z matcher between the speaker output and the speaker in my setup. Then I take the line out signal to my looper and then to the board--or another amp. I use an Aracom attenuator, but I think even the cheaper ones like the HotPlates have a line out too.

The good thing about it is that it allows you to loop the sound that you want--you hear exactly what you will be getting through the speakers of your amp--with just the right amount of overdrive and whatever effects. Once that sound is looping, you can change your effects, dirty up your sound or whatever and play over the top of it. Changing your amp settings won't affect what is being looped at all. That could be tricky if the looper was in your effects loop.

Tried it and unfortunately when switching from one amp/effects patch to another it sent the initial loop phrase thru the switched patch. The cyber-twin is your standard clean/dirty dual channel amp which would probably work. I’ll experiment a bit more with the amp’s set  up.

guitar goes into the front of the amp

effect send on the amp goes to input of the looper

output of the looper goes to effect return on the amp

Thanks Sim – just to save me more trial/error as I haven’t been using send/return much in the past. Which goes where in terms of the in/out of the looper and the send/return of the amp – and then the inst would go directly into the amp input? Excuse my lack of know how on this stuff.
