Hi at the moment I have borrowed the church Samick BA50 bass amp to practise at home. This is an 80w amp.
When I use it I usually go bass>effects>amp. I noticed the amp has a seperate effects loop. This got me thinking.
So my questions today are ...
1. How does an effects loop in amp differ from using effects in signal chain. (pros/cons of each etc)?
2. With effects what is best (pros/cons or each etc)?
a. Bass>effects>amp?
b. Bass>amp amp>Effects loop?
3. When going into FOH where to put DI (pros/cons of each etc)?
a. From DI out built into amp?
b. Instrument>DI>split to amp/FOH?
Thanks for any info you may have.
