Ok i run an empress tc nova delay and a tc reverb pedal in my loop.
Last night in a gig my amp started farting pretty bad.. I turned off changed power tubes and worked great for a while,, then started farting once and a while for short time while what started when using the effects in the loop.
I was in the serial loop would parallel been better and how should i have effects knob set,, Could i have been overriding the effects loop 12ax7?? I had the knob full bore??
I was gonna puut a new tube in bias better and maybe use my suhr mini mix II on my board would that help any?? I hate to sell this amp due to effects loop crap etc ,, I have 6 damn modules!!! Can anyone help??
 
im thinking i might ha had the effects knob to high,, could turn effects themselves up and effects knob down??
 
I might be mistaken, but I thought the MOD50 had a line level loop (i.e., rack effects only). Anyone, feel free to correct me if I am wrong. However, if I am right, you can't use footpedals in the loop, Dave. Bruce is now making a device specifically designed to allow you to use footpedals in the loop. Actually, I think there is a guy selling one in the Classifieds right now. Otherwise, reach out to Bruce and he'll set you up. I think they're $150...
 
Thats jacked up man 6 modules and expensive head and I have to buy this shit??
Can I use my Suhr mini mix II for the same thing:)
 
btw, user 'Bucksears' might have one for sale as well, as I remember seeing that he was unloading his Eggie modular.....
 
here is the mini mix II
Im sure Rockstar Nick knows

Tone Tools: MiniMix II | ISO Line-Out Box
MiniMix II
The Suhr MiniMix II (originally the MiniMix) is the first professional tone tool product from John Suhr that significantly improves the performance of your guitar rig. Used by pros like Scott Henderson and Mike Landau, the MiniMix II essentially converts the serial effects loop of your amp into an extremely transparent parallel effects loop that will not mess with the purity of your amp signal whatsoever. Designed by John Suhr utilizing only the highest grade audio components, the MiniMix II features better than 0.004% total harmonic distortion and noise floor along with an extremely flat frequency response covering 20Hz to 20 KHz.

You will be amazed by the improvement to the overall sound quality of your rig by connecting the MiniMix II into the effects loop of your amp. You get back your precious amp tone and simply layer the effects of your favorite processor over it to taste. Simply connect "Send" of your amp's loop to the "In" of the MiniMix. Connect the "Send" of the MiniMix to the input of your processor and the output of the processor to the "Return" of the MiniMix. Connect the "Out" of the MiniMix to the "Return" of your amp and you're ready to rock. Make sure the processor is set to 100% wet. You can control the balance between the dry amp tone and wet effects tone with the output level of your processor.

The MiniMix II assures that your amp signal is not degraded by legacy ADA converter in your processor. Now you can play with the peace of mind that the pure guitar-amp signal that you've worked so hard to attain is not compromised by suspicious circuits in various effects units. It's like converting your simple mono amp rig into a sophisticated multi-amp "wet-dry" rig without the hassles and the added bulk and weight. Add the MiniMix II to your rig and hear the difference you didn't think was possible in a simple one-amp rig. The MiniMix II adds new features to the original MiniMix with its ability to receive signals from two separate processors in parallel, a control jack that allows you to mute the dry signal for those effects patches (like compressor, chorus, tremolo or EQ, etc.) that are better suited for series operation, and an isolated transformer to eliminate ground loops. The MiniMix II can now accept both high-impedance instrument level signal or low-impedance line level signal, making this an invaluable addition to your rig.

MSRP: $250
 
The mini mix converts the series loop to parallel. More ideal for time based line level processors. The Egnater loop gadget and Ebtech level shifter are specifically designed for what you are trying to do and less expensive than the Suhr.
 
The effects knob on the front is only for the parallel loop. No effect on the series loop.
 
sooo i bought the loop gadget.. Will this work on my 20th shiva as well to help with its crappy loop??/ if so Im selling the suhr as Ive yet to use it..

Click to expand...

It should. I'm using mine to create and external active loop on my '79 JMP. Works like a charm. It really is totally transparent too.
 
ok than mboogman cuz the shiva is more less a line level loop and i use pedals...
 
aby one else have their way on the mod series???
 
Just lookin to see what others do..:) BY THE WAY XTC arrived in one piece:)
