Cheers team NZG
The output of the pedalboard is too 'hot' for the amplifiers input.
I will be disassembling my pedalboard into 2

Re: Amp effects loop questions
Wondered about that. That’s why the question about whether the input had some limiter on it. Did you figure out which pedal is boosting it so much?
They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.

Re: Amp effects loop questions
If that was the real reason then turning the volume down on the guitar should allow it to work.
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

Re: Amp effects loop questions
Some time-based effects can put out studio-level signals. You could try just turning down the output from these?

I'm picking it's the Diamond Compressor.Delayman wrote:Wondered about that. That’s why the question about whether the input had some limiter on it. Did you figure out which pedal is boosting it so much?
Although it's not entirely clear cut because
Bass - Comp - Amp works
Bass - Tuner- Comp - Amp works
Bass - Flanger - Tuner- Comp- Amp works
Bass - EQ- Flanger - Tuner - Comp - Amp works
Bass - EQ- Flanger - Tuner - Filter - Comp - Amp does not work, however the Amp works just the Comp won't switch on . It will continue the signal through though
FUCKED IF I KNOW
There is only 1110 combinations of pedal order to try as well.

Re: Amp effects loop questions
Edit
The above post was always through the amp input
I assume everything is still useable through either amps effect loop

Re: Amp effects loop questions
So your only combo with six pedals doesn’t work? Power supply issue/ daisy chain?

Re: Amp effects loop questions
It's the Sadowsky Pre-Amp that's clipping the Amp input
However (as before) it works fine on its own into the Amp input and as part of the board going through the Amp's effects loop.
I can run 5 pedals off one power slot (via daisy chain) then add in on seperate power slots the Wounded Paw and Tech-21 chorus straight into the Amp input sweet.
So I need to solve a couple of things here. Plan A won't work which was running the Diamond Comp on 9v batteries.
Again thanks for the help NZG Team

Re: Amp effects loop questions
Sgt M's advice was patching the effects loop
While this didn't work I did find out when I forgot to take the patch out that the Bass tone was markedly different.
(Passive Bass). It's fair to say I know Sweet FA about electric workings

I'm really interested in this, and I'm sure it's really frustrating for you. Is the Sadowsky on board the bass, or is it a pedal preamp? You didn't mention it in your signal chain with the pedals.

Re: Amp effects loop questions
Sorry I thought I had typed out the pedal list
It's the Sadowsky pre-amp DI pedal, I had the original pre but it only ran on batteries so I traded it for what I have now.
I might have a look inside to see if it has any internal trims
It can run on a 9v battery
