Re: Parallel effects loop for Marshall style amps
Hi Larry,
Thanks for schematic
I want to do a separate FX module to use with all amps I have, so I must do another power supply. I intend to use a ECC83, what line voltage you suggest for anode ? ( I already have available a 350Vcc power supply ).
Thanks

The fault almost always is sitting in front of the amp

Hi,
Need 4,7K resistor and 20u cap if I do a separate power supply with own filtering (220u) ?
Thanks

Re: Parallel effects loop for Marshall style amps
Hi Larry , I try a loop in a Marshall 50 watt, It was a kind of KOC - Tut loop but I was not much satisfied.
I read a lot here 'bout your loop so if You could send me the schematics i 'll give it a try.
Thanks.

No, if you get out of your power supply ripple free 320...350V DCcatalin gramada wrote:Need 4,7K resistor and 20u cap if I do a separate power supply with own filtering (220u) ?

Re: Parallel effects loop for Marshall style amps
Hey Larry I was wondering are both 22uF caps 450V?
Also have trouble sourcing these caps, can a 30uF be used? Any ill effects?
Or maybe a 32x32uF cap can?
Thanks
Rip

Re: Parallel effects loop for Marshall style amps
One is a cathode cap, where 16V wouldt be plenty, the HV cap can be higher than 22µ no prob!

Re: Parallel effects loop for Marshall style amps
Can a higher value like 30uF be used on the cathode cap as well?novosibir wrote:One is a cathode cap, where 16V wouldt be plenty, the HV cap can be higher than 22µ no prob!

Thanks again for the help

Hello Larry,
I'm interesting by your FX loop.
Could I have please the schematics of your FX loop ?
Thanks
Laurent

Re: Parallel effects loop for Marshall style amps
Hi Larry. I finally finished my amp. Your FX loop is working brilliantly! Thanks!

Re:
Hey Larry I found this post soo... anything 16uF and up for the filtering?novosibir wrote:Shure, all values from 16antosimoni wrote:also can I use a 20u/450V instead of the 22 one??
And again what are the alternatives for the cathode? 22uF and up?
Will any of this affect tone?
Thanks

Hi Larry:
I'm very interested in your loop. Any chance I could still get a copy?
Thanks:

As I already wrote in the 1-st post of this topic, loop requests ONLY via PM AND included email address!
Loop requests in this topic or requests by PM, but w/o email address will be regarded like not written!
Keep in mind, that I can't put a .pdf document in a PM

Re: Parallel effects loop for Marshall style amps
Larry,
I put your loop into my new amp (completely modded Fender Bassman 10). Thank you very much for providing that schematic!
I like it a lot so far, but I've noticed a couple of things. The loop send control "thumps" when I turn it all the way down. Does this mean I have some DC across the pot?
Also, I noticed the "dry" path's tone is quite a bit brighter than the "wet" paths tone, even with nothing in the loop. I think I may try a different value of bypass cap across the 220k, or remove it all together. Any suggestions?
Thanks!!!
Eric
