Title: Add FX loop to Pathfinder
Post by: mladenu on December 19, 2015, 07:04:20 PM
Well, i plan to add reverb pedal to this little Vox, and maybe would know where to predict FX return, but will leave this enigma to some of ssguitar expert which would be kind to explain me that...

And here is schematic:

After U2A,, before power chip.
Frankly I doubt much benefit would be forth coming,,,I'd just plug your Rev pedal in front.

Agree and add: either before or after last Volume control (P4)

Start by lifting right end of R18, send that to Send Jack, then from Return jack to top of P4 .

If it works properly, fine.

If signal level too high and it clips your Reverb (which would defeat the porpose of the Loop, wouldn't it?  ;) ) ,then you'll have to cut the track leaving P4 wiper and splice/graft/kludge your jacks there.

Again agree that you *might*  not get much in return, the beauty is that you can *test*  it without comitting yourself deeply, *before*  drilling jack holes and such.
