Re: patching/effects loop query

The same Alembic PreAmp that David Gilmour uses? ;-)

So you NEED a SwitchBlade: allkinds of connections are possible with 
it, at the best audio quality you can immagine.
Otherwise, for a "static" setup, a line mixers could be ok too, but i 
still recommend a SwitchBlade. You have some great pieces of gear, so 
let's use all its potential!
