Guitar effects boards and loopers explained

[@78tag]

Thanks for actually informing us about the looper instead of displaying your guitar talents like so many youtubers insist on doing.

[@PrinceWesterburg]

Hey everyone, he starts talking about the switcher at 6:30

[@St99785]

Thanks, m8

[@christophebelouard6043]

Prince Westerburg thanks

[@AveryGuitar]

thanks

[@taylorhumes7567]

Thanks

[@78thandSynth]

A hero among us

[@umokay1991]

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO FREAKING EXPLAINS THE WAYS YOU CAN HOOK UP TO A SWITCHER. THANK YOU.

[@lennykrainie1903]

Been playing for almost 8 years and spent ages looking for a video like this , thank you !

[@mooniejohnson]

"I can guarantee you now that you WILL buy more pedals." The sad truth about being a guitarist. :P

[@johnstarcluster]

hey man! i really appreciate the time you took to explain everything... i am learning about loopers and you helped me narrow in on what i need. thanks!

[@craigmcdonald2958]

That is what I was hoping I could do- just help some people out. Thanks for feedback.

[@StratGuitarman69]

I admit that not the best cables are used and shown here but they helped with two things. 1) Easy to identify the different loops in the video. . 2) At the time of construction they were the only ones I could source with a straight plug on one end (for looper box) and right angles on the other end (for the FX pedals themselves) Currently working through replacing with my own hand made custom cables. Yep soldering iron all warmed up. Rock on!

[@howardsix9708]

Very practical and down-to-earth. Enjoyed it. Nice to see a load of users eploting PARALLEL signal paths, as I started doing over 40 years ago.Good upload, H6UK

[@smooshpig]

thank you for NOT wasting my time. great video! hope all is well!

[@StratGuitarman69]

I know that Multi FX processors are out there but personally I prefer the flexibility of individual pedals as I can use best of breed for each effect. I have used multi FX processors but I prefer my own custom set up. No right or wrong - just personal preference.

[@Tuck1911]

agreed, I have multi-effects, but over the years i've been switching to individual pedals.

[@MetalHeart8787]

I prefer Pedals also, I rented a effects unit in 95 & there's just too many corny sounding things that didn't even sound like a Guitar & the chorus & Distortion wasn't as strong / powerful as a Pedal

[@RichardKurbis]

I've had Peavey Tubefex's since 1995 (multi-processor rack FX), and they had both finally given up the ghost. I'm about to put them up on ebay for parts. So I just started getting back into pedals. Thanks for posting, lots of things to think about, I'm about to build my board (hand-made).

[@Muz64]

StratGuitarman69 Yes I understand. But why, when there are FX processors that are great that cost the price of one pedal sometimes. I never really understood the attraction to a mirad of pedals. I would love to hear your thoughts of this issue...................Thanks.

[@michaelcraig9449]

StratGuitarman69 this is not a multi fx processor, just a quicker way to switch the pedals on and off..

[@mikehughes9191]

great demo. went into this video thinking/hoping "looper" meant effects loop, since I have a hard time finding people who utilitize a preamp chain and effects loop chain like I do. But it turned out to be a great video, with a great looper pedal. Honestly contemplating purchasing one now haha. thanks!

[@mikehughes9191]

okay, so i made that comment BEFORE I saw your orange micro terror...best video ive seen in a long time for sure. thanks for the great ideas!

[@baynesstreetblues]

Thanks Craig. An excellent explanation. Helpful demo begins at 14:00. I like that these Swift ‘Switchers’ do not have banks and multi programmable features like the Boss and JoYo PXL series. The simpler the better in my view. The website recommendations say that the standout feature of this unit is the robust construction and complete absence of switch noise or signal loss. Another ✅ to Swift.

[@el0j]

possibly the most informative looper video out there

[@dereknueveuno]

Great stuff, been playing guitar just almost a year now, and electric for a month, and i set out to learn as much as possible, and i really took away and good understanding of the effect pedal aspect

[@StratGuitarman69]

Thanks Derek. Hope it was helpful.

[@bryanarundel7594]

Hey ,I have a look at the moment. The comments

[@rkl17]

Well done Craig. One of the best instructional videos I have ever seen on KZbin. Straight ahead, very informative, well explained. Thank you sir.

[@frederickhockey2760]

A really thorough and well done video. Thanks!

[@bassman3834]

Done really well. Thank you for sharing all that you have. Very good way of getting a well organized system. I have that little terror and love it. You can't beat it for the money. As you stated, in a critical situation, it's a God send. Again, Thank you...

[@craigmcdonald2958]

Glad to try and help-thanks

[@TheAgentAssassin]

fantastic tone all around , Marshall and the Orange ,plus the boss pedals and classic cry baby

[@jonpetit7063]

bahaha!!! was NOT expecting that little orange head to sound like that! very nice!

[@StratGuitarman69]

It is definitely usable as a spare and low cost.Well worth carrying at all times.

[@RoIIingStoned]

Thanks! Been playing for years but never used a pedal. They seemed really complicated but u made it very clear

[@ashleykitson1300]

Thanks - now I understand. T'was getting confused with 'loopers'. Nice explanation.

[@hardrockerdave94]

Thanks for uploading man! Thinking about buying a few pedals, been playing for about 7 years but been very pedal phobic until now haha but this video really helped!

[@TheIcanntspel]

Thank you Craig, this was very helpful for me and where I am as a guitarist.

[@craigmcdonald2958]

Many thanks - Hope I could help

[@dmanalang9037]

Very good explanation of a looper's function sir. Thank you very much!

[@Fitzliputzli23]

Great info, thanks! I'd suggest to not only put the blues breaker into the post-preamp FX-loop but also chorus, delay and stuff. Finally you'll end up using two circuits: one pre-preamp the other one post-preamp.

[@craigmcdonald2958]

yes - You are correct, then you woudl need two switch systems. One for Send/Return FX and one for Pre-input FX. I never used Send/return. I don't actually use FX that much to be honest, I like to keep things simple when I can. :-)

[@bobc.5698]

That was good. I'm just getting back into guitar after 30 years off. I got a little 25 watt tube amp (Peavey Bravo) and got a wah (had to learn about buffered and true bypass) then a delay and will get more. I like the idea of having 1 button to push to go back to straight guitar amp.

[@metaltim2]

That was a good watch, mate!! Learned a couple things i was always curious about...you should do more of these.. (..and judging by all the comments, the good people at 'Orange" and "Swift" should be sending you a royalty cheque!!..lol)

[@craigmcdonald2958]

No Cheques yet but thanks - glad it was of some use.

[@greg4673]

Perfect. Couldn't have said it, or done it any better!

[@StratGuitarman69]

Thnaks Zac, hope you found it useful. The Loop switch is from Swift pedals - link is at top I think .They have used this video on theri homepage :-)

[@Voxtender]

Great walk through. I've been running my pedals in series for 30 years - mostly because I've been a minimalist. But I'm up to a similar six pedal setup now, and I'm looking at building something like what you've got here. Five of the same pedals. Keep on Rockin' mate! Looking at one of those little Orange's too for same reason!

[@craigmcdonald2958]

Hope you managed to complete your setup - not that we ever do of course :-)

[@StratGuitarman69]

Hi Patrick, All the effects on the board feed (via the loop switch) into the Guitar input. The only thing in the amp FX loop is the bluesbreaker 2 set in boost mode. This is because I have the pre-amp (gain) on full so boosting it does nothing due to the pre-amp valves being flat out. The only way I can boost is between the pre-amp and power amp ie the FX loop.

[@Xxmeca421xX]

I think I finally have to buy one. I have 10 pedals per board. I want to put 20 on a build next but with mini pedals and I guess I will have to buy 2 power supplies to mount under. This will be my 4th pedalboard made from wood and I've learned some tricks. I almost made a shelf style to use with my hands but backed out. I just need to save floor space and only play sitting in my house.

[@ghinamounzer]

Dude is giving me Neville Longbottom vibes ♥♥ Awesome video, thanks for the explanation!

[@sthengr]

Excellent demo, very helpful! Thanks!

[@RolfEgilBolle]

That was a great video,and that Micro terror amp sounded awesome.

[@craigmcdonald2958]

Thanks, glad to be able to help

[@davidglabais4919]

Great video. I've been contemplating on getting a looper to simplify the pedal tap dance. I think this is the best route for 5 or 6 pedals or more. Seems all you need for your rig is an eq pedal to give you that solo boost. Cheers mate.

[@craigmcdonald2958]

Actually I use my amp on max so pre-input boosters have no effect other than driving tubes into compression. The way I get around that is to use a "Bad Cat unleash" two channel attenuator between the amp and speaker. I set the two channel vols different and switch channels for solos.

[@markpalcko9753]

Cool, nice setup! Thanks Craig!

[@garethrowley8552]

Excellent demo, but there's something I'm curious about. Can this fx switcher mix a pedal sound with the clean and distortion channel on your amp or are you forced to bypass all effects when you hit the bypass switch?

[@craigmcdonald2958]

The bypass is to bypass all the FX pedals connected to the switches. If you are asking whether you can swap amp channels and include switching an effect (eg delay) on at the same time using this then the answer is I believe No. The amp channel will most likely have to be switched using its own footswitch.

[@danielleary9533]

Great explanation, thanks. Strangely enough, I actually like the way the little Orange sounds better than the Marshall.

[@craigmcdonald2958]

It is certainly a great backup although never had to use it yet(!)

[@jeanrepal]

I LOVE THE IDEA OF THE LOOPER!!! That'd literally cancel out most of my noise problems! =)

[@lobsterbum]

Thanks Craig! You've cleared a few things up for me.

[@hippiekarl7]

*Some* loopers (not this one, though) allow you to select various combinations of pedals on with little trim-switches for *each* patch. This guy didn't get rid of the 'tap-dance' at all; he still has to click them on one at a time. Once he's done that tap-dance, he shows that clicking 'bypass' engages the ones he selected. The Carl Martin Octo-whatever I saw on here lets you set up 8 separate *combinations* of pedals. Now THAT gets rid of the tap-dance; this one just makes you dance between songs.....Hope this helps, if you're thinking of investing in one of these pedal loopers (I sure am, just not this one, I don't think!).

[@joshgreen4521]

Thanks for that information! That's what I am looking for! (y) :)

[@prsfrank]

great explanation on how you should properly use pedals these days, my preference is a midi solution with the pedals on a tray going through a switcher system , its not dissimilar to what your describing here, except I have zero cable coming from the amp to the floor , I just have a midi cable to my voodoo lab midi pedal, and I can switch my amp channels from it too. Great video with some very sound advice

[@craigmcdonald2958]

Thanks - just trying to help.

[@garymitchell4719]

Thanks Craig great demo and very informative- that little Orange unit is a gas- if only all heads were that easy to carry. There'd be a lot of roadies at the Jobcentre! I guess you can choose the order the pedals come into the loop in case you want say chorus before or after flanger or wah etc?

[@StratGuitarman69]

yeah the Orange is a nice piece of a kit but I only keep it as a spare.You can set your fx sequence as you want it, same as if they were just plugged into each other.

[@craigmcdonald2958]

the sequence of pedals is determined by which "Channel/Switch" they re on. So my Wah is first in the chain as it is on switch 1. My delay is last in the chain as it is on switch 6

[@ronnieeagleandthealchemist2333]

That little Orange amp was sounding pretty sweet.

[@Akaawol]

Is there a difference in the sound between stinging effects together vs using a looper? And how would you add a Loop Recording Effects Pedal if you were a soloist?

[@MrKadidle51]

How do you route the cabling when you want to have multiple pedals in an amp fx loop? As an example. I've got a delay, a modulation pedal, and a reverb in my fx loop and I want to integrate them into a loop switcher where I can control them individually. Not sure how to cable that while having them in the fx loop? Am I just missing something obvious?

[@darkmasterofdragon]

Very well explained. May I recommend the Boss Feedback/Booster FB-2 for you to Boost your solos.

[@craigmcdonald2958]

Won't work- I have my Amp cranked to the max as it has no Master volume so pre-input boosting simply puts the vales/tubes into compression.I then attenuate the phenomenal and deadly volume by the use of a "Bad Cat Unleash" which sits between the amp and the speaker cab. It has two "channels" which I set at different vols. I then switch between them for solos. Works for me.

[@KeithyTom]

Great video. Good presentation and clear instructions.

[@Mr514crome]

Awesome info, ty Craig, very helpful indeed, keep it up, Cheers mate

[@craigmcdonald2958]

Thanks, glad it was useful in some way.

[@miguelaraujo8526]

Hi. Thanks for the video. Maybe you can help me with a few questions. I'm a guitar player and singer in a portuguese band. As i sing and play at the same time it's very uncomfortable to be tapdancing. Some years ago i bought a Mooer L6 switcher. For the price i can't really complaint about it (the main problem is this kind of delay when you press the buttons, the sound kind of fades in). I've been using it to control my modulation pedals live, but i want to be able to control all pedals (dis, drive, boost, etc). This happens because i use my modulation in the fx loop of the amp and the other pedals in the front inside of the BOSS NS2 loop. My question is if using the boss es 8 four cable method feature i can route the pedals i want to the front and to the fx loop "separating" them but still using in the same loop system. Other thing i would like to know is how the boss NS2 loop would work in a foot switcher, i mean how can i still be using the noise surpressor loop or how can i use it still using a switcher. As i'm thinking of switching to another switcher, i would like to ask some of good choices for me besides the ES-8. What exact foot switchers can i use to route pedals to the fx loop and to the front of the pedal. Thank you.

[@pnelson3248]

Very helpful, thank you for posting this! - I have not seen anyone show how they set up when they turn up for a gig. Having not yet done this, it always sits in the back of my head. I have no idea what you need to do. Do you just plug the amp straight into a wall socket and go? Should I also consider amp positioning, PA's (direct from amp or mic in front of amp) or just build my own experience as I go. From your experience, how do you approach a new venue when you're playing for the first time? Any advice would be very helpful. Cheers!

[@StratGuitarman69]

Wow a lot of questions there. Ok. Gigs - we always set up with bass and guitar amps next to drums, slightly in front.If venue is big enough guitar amp iss miked through PA. Bass guitar is split DI into PA and also into bass amp. Drums are miked. Onstage sound is usually same volume wherever we are. any need to be louder is done through PA.. we use two monitors at front,- vocals only and a separate one for drummer with only vocals and a bit of guitar in it.

[@pnelson3248]

Very much appreciated, thank you for taking time to reply. - For the PA setup would you be expected to do this or would there be a person on site usually responsible who dictates how set up is done?

[@amedeo1993]

Great Video Craig:-)....Love the Magic Trick, pulling Micro Terror from out behind the Marshall!!...Interested in your Marshall Combo sitting behind you. What Model?? Considering a JCM600..comments??? Would love your opinion. Cheers and Thanks!!:-)

[@craigmcdonald2958]

That was a Marshall JTM30 1*12 I used to have. I also had a matching 1*12 ext speaker cab. Nice amp- had it for years ,but it worked better on the clean channel and overdriven with an overdrive or distortion pedal. the Distortion channel on the map was not really that usable for me. No longer have it. I have never used a Marshall JCM600. I do have a new Marshall DSL40CR which is pretty flexible although still not totally got to grips with it. I may do a video!

[@CamsCampbell]

That was very informative and useful. I'm just starting out with all this and it's a bit of a minefield for the beginner.

[@craigmcdonald2958]

Hopefully it helped. Thanks

[@joehernandez5600]

Craig, thanks! One of the most helpful explanations I have seen. If I want to run my time-based effects through my FX loop, I suppose I would need another looper just to run through the FX loop. In that case I might have an 6-8 loop looper for effects before the preamp and another 4-6 loop looper for the FX loop. Have you ever used it that way?

[@StratGuitarman69]

Hi Joe, That is exactly right although I haven't done that. I have everything apart from "boost" pre-input.. Glad you found it useful. Craig

[@craigmcdonald2958]

I don't use Send/return for FX but you a correct, you would need two as you describe

[@HarmonicDrone]

hey mate, i dunno what patch cables you are using, but you should try out some george l's or lava cables. The clarity you get from them is amazing ;)

[@craigmcdonald2958]

I just need some with Right angle on one end and straight on the other. I will be replacing these with better ones.

[@blueleadguitar]

Great idea to use the Tiny Terror. I only have a Marshall TSL 122 combo, so could I use the Tiny Terror idea by unplgging the amp from the speaker in the same way?

[@StratGuitarman69]

The Terror will plug in to any speaker cab - it has a std jack connection for the speaker. Just need to relevent speaker lead.

[@FelixIsMyName]

Your Strat had a really nice driven sound, even when you play "clean" it just had a twang to it. Did you have reverb coming from the head at all?

[@craigmcdonald2958]

No reverb anywhere other than naturally in the room. Amp is a Marshall SLP1959- basic amp-no master vol, or FX.

[@davidkahan]

I also have a Phaser 90 - it's fantastic !

[@craigmcdonald2958]

it is a classic sound

[@robertscoggin]

Thanks for the info about the switcher I'm still tap dancing on pedals. I thought the orange sounded better than the Marshall LOL

[@seanmcaleer1825]

Hey, cool board, informative video. I just wonder why you set your wah in the looper as well, since you'd need to turn it on by pressing down on it anyway? Why not just have it go straight through, like that Marshall booster pedal

[@seanmcaleer1825]

whoops, just seen you say why there 15 minutes in... need to watch videos full way through without questioning from now on, sorry

[@StratGuitarman69]

A good point but I used to have trouble knowing if the Wah was on sometimes as no LED. I just leave it on all the time now and use the Looper Switch and LED to identify whether It is in use or not. Can't always tell when there is a lot of noise haha.

[@gtaglia779]

Do I need to run my NS2 noise gate through the looper? It's currently connected 4 cable method with my Revv G3 distortion pedal and Boss GE7 Eq? The gate is always on

[@skaifeward7773]

Thankyou! Video helped me alot!

[@ferguitars1]

Enjoyed this video very much. It was informative as well as precise. My one question to you is: What brand and model is your looper switch? I would really like to add that to my rig. Thanks for the informative video.

[@portapottyflipper6957]

Clear, concise, useful info

[@craigmcdonald2958]

Thanks, just trying to help out and spread some knowledge

[@anzo20pants]

Great vid mate it's explained a lot. Can you tell me what model that swift looper is please? I really like the simplicity of it and the master bypass is just perfect for me as I like to use the natural channels of the amp more. Thanks

[@StratGuitarman69]

Its form a UK company called swift pedals. They use this video on their website.

[@RangaluHsu]

Nice man,thanks for sharing your pedal board and idea^^

[@backplomer]

appreciate your downtoearth lesson, thanks for the time, learnt a lot

[@craigmcdonald2958]

Thanks, just trying to help out

[@Doug20VT]

What does that Swift Bypass Looper cost in USD? I believe its the SL6MT. Im looking for exactly that. Master bypass, 6 effects channels, and tuner mute. It looks like the website is from UK. I think it shows £133. I don't know what that is in USD.

[@craigmcdonald2958]

That sounds like the one. Four years ago - £133 would have been about $226 , now (2018) it is probably more like $172.

[@injuredoldtabletennisplaye7001]

Great explained basics. Gave great ideas.

[@maximiliano1761]

Thanks a lot for explaining what that big long thing with 20+ cables does. As stupid as this sounds the way I understood is . You can take the pedals and put them on a parallel circuit instead of a series circuit. Kinda like Christmas lights so that your lights will still work even if one of them burns out.

[@nicholasstanziola]

No. All pedals are still in series with each other when they are selected on the loop/bypass box. The switching box is simply a clever way to truly bypass the whole pedal chain, as well as controlling which pedals are actually wired into the chain.

[@04softail70]

I want to start using a looper, but I'm a little confused about the set up. Are the modulation effects going through the Effects loop? It looks like there's a 4 cord set up with the pedal board. I know you said the Marshall Blues breaker was in the loop. I know the whole tap dancing thing is trying to be avoided, but if the modulation effects are in the loop, can they be selected through the looper with the preamp effects and still go through the loop?

[@StratGuitarman69]

Hi, thanks for the interest. Ok - Everything on the board (apart from the BB2) feeds into the input of the amp.The BB2 is totally separate and is in the FX loop of the amp and is used as a clean boost for solos. So as you say I use a four cable harness. cable 1 -Guitar in (from transmitter/receiver), cable 2 - guitar out (to amp) cable 3 - Amp send -into BB2 cable 4 - BB2out - amp return. To use fx in the send/return you would need to connect the looper in the send/return loop not the amp input. you could have two loopers, one for amp in fx and one for send/rtn fx. Hope this clarifies - Craig

[@04softail70]

Thanks. That was crystal clear. Cory

[@Frydo3D]

Wow, that Orange Micro Terror, 100 quid in the UK - Is amazing. Gonna be hitting that up for my HD500 ;-)

[@joek81981]

My only question: "horses for courses".... Is that your guys' version of "different strokes for different folks"?

[@warefairsoda]

Possibly maybe.

[@craigmcdonald2958]

yes that is right. Just assumed everyone knew the expression but assuming is never a good idea, apologies.

[@barscotch]

How does it shake out using one of these loopers with a dual-circuit pedal like a Jekyll & Hyde or a Analog.man KOT?

[@1.123]

the cables caught under the board are freaking me out.

[@craigmcdonald2958]

They actually go under the board to keep them out of the way. The board has feet on it so they are not crushed at all.

[@karmatilya]

Same here. Aaarrrggghhh!

[@DrMobiusOfficial]

What happens if I have one pedal that I'd like to use in two different loops? Do I need to have two identical pedals?

[@scriba80]

Hello, i wathed the video twice, but i'm not sure about a thing... can you actually program the looper? like assign few pedal to one button, few other pedal to an other one.. or you just able to switch from clean to some pedals??

[@StratGuitarman69]

its not programmable as such. if you wanted three FX to come on at once you can press bypass then switch the fx you want in to the circuit. Then when you turn Bypass off (only press the one switch) they are all working.

[@scriba80]

understood!! Thank you Sir.. actually i ask it a couple months ago and in the mentime i made up my mind...even if it is a nice tool, it is not what i'm looking for... it was strange since the beggining such a low price, then i realized it is not programable so useless to me

[@MariosNayplio]

that little orange tiny beast is all the money!! hey hey... nice video keep going!!!

[@craigmcdonald2958]

Thanks- Glad you enjoyed it. www,clan-rock.com

[@brianh4625]

So is your delay in front of the amp? Would it makes sense to have two loopers: one for effects before the amp (overdrive, phaser) and one for time-based effects in the loop of the amp (delay, etc.)?

[@StratGuitarman69]

You could do this yes. Depends on your FX preferences. I only use delay for two tracks and for me it works fine in front of the amp.

[@04softail70]

I built a device for my rig for this specific issue. It's basically the same thing a lot of those expensive pre-made pedalboards have from the big manufacturers. I have eight mono jacks wired in the proper configuration, encased in a medium sized aluminum pedal enclosure. It's velcroed to my pedalboard and allows me to separate my effects loop effects and my pre-amp effects without having to run a crap load of cable back and forth from my amp to my pedals. In fact, I have three cables zip tied together that go from my amp to this device. It works perfectly and saves me a lot of time hooking up before a gig too. I put all of my Modulation, Time Based and Pitch Based effects through the loop and my Gain Based effects all go through the Pre-Amp... and it works GREAT. The looper is going on the board next and with this device, it eliminates the need to have two loopers... It can all go through one looper.

[@michaelcraig9449]

so you dont actually step on the pedals, just the blue box? well how much does the blue looper box cost? people also call a looper a box that can play many tracks at once..like a digitech jamman looper... so this is a bit confusing..

[@w.rustylane5650]

Your better option for a stand by amp would be a Crate made here in the good ole USA. If you get a Crate Power Block 150CPB you'll get 150 watts out and the amp size is about the size of that orange thing. The Crate only weighs 4.5 pounds.

[@drummingmuppet]

What brand is your loop switcher mate? I'm trying to find the brand and I can't make it out on your video...

[@apremolar]

very good.Great info.Thanks.

[@Bikramin86]

"u will have more pedals" yes sir

[@GrungeIsN0tDead]

where is the marshall pedal connected to if its not connected into the looper?

[@RandyKekipi]

thank you for the lesson on pedals

[@Iggytommy]

Did you try better quality patch cables before buying the looper/switcher?

[@StratGuitarman69]

Glad you found it helpful. Thanks

[@ihellspawn]

how would you set the looper if you want your modulations, reverbs and delays threw an effects loop?

[@StratGuitarman69]

Well you could plug the fx loop send into the looper and then back into the fx return. All fx would be in the fx loop then though. If you wanted some front end and some in fx loop you would need two loopers.

[@evalolacookie]

Hey man your video is very informative!! Make more videos like this subscribed

[@SeattleGenXDude]

What do you do for stereo pedals in the looper bypass?

[@craigmcdonald2958]

ooh an interesting good question. I don't have any so I don't know. Sorry.

[@tomholt3944]

Can you please give me a link to where I can buy that looper?

[@StratGuitarman69]

Hi, My JCM800 is a recent (3 years old) reissue which includes the send/return as standard. I also have a JCM800 Combo from 1983 which doesn't have the effects loop. I'm not sure if Marshall introduced a loop as standard later in the 80s or only on the reissue? My SLP1959 head is a 2009 reissue and that also has the effects loop unlike the originals. Sorry can't be much more help.

[@therascels2503]

What is the effects switcher he uses? It's just what I want, the size the ease etc... Or any suggestions?

[@StratGuitarman69]

I use a Loop switch from Swift pedals. UK

[@ChristianRobinson]

great video.
