renegade loop

[bartmcartman]

Has anyone tried running pedals through the loop? Specifically instrument level pedals?

I am running a Vox Time Machine, Boss Super Chorus and a BBE Sonic Stomp with great success!! It takes pedals very well. There is no tone suckage (if that is a word) between having the effects loop on or off.

my dd3 farts in it but my digitech hardwire pedals and dd20 dont..

 

[bartmcartman]

Hmmm. If that farts out my dd7 and super chorus probably would as well.

So a buddy of mine go an email back from Egnater today stating that the renegade has a button on the inside of the amp to switch the loop from instrument to line level. They stated that it ships set to instrument level. Has anyone noticed the button?

 

[chasing shadows]

Umm.....just took off the back plate and I see no button. Did they happen to mention where it is??

 

[bartmcartman]

I don't believe they did. Maybe it's underneathe the chassis?

 

[just42dave]

probably inside ill look one of these days..Either way this amp is nice when you retube it!!!

 

[bartmcartman]

Got any favorite tubes in the renegade?

Can we get a confirmation from some body from Egnater about the effects loop button and its location. I would hate to take the amp apart and find out that there in not one!!

I took the chassis out of mine b/c of a near disaster I created with some replacement poweramp tubes. This was before I'd heard of any "button" so admittedly I wasn't looking for it, but I didn't see anything like that. I may take the chassis out again soon and I'll look for the alleged "button."

In the meantime, I've been running a Line6 M13 in the fx loop using the 4 cable method and I'm gaga over the setup.

OH, and someone asked about replacement tubes -- I put some JJ 12AC7s in the amp and it really helped the OD side of the amp, primarily in giving the amp a more smooth transition from vintage-y low crunch to heavy gain. With the stock tubes, that difference was pretty narrow.

Cheers,

anyone ever find the button???

 

[chasing shadows]

I found the button. It is a push in button.
