        I am using my H90 with a tone king preamp and then running that setup into a traditional amp with an fx loop (adds the TK channels to my existing amp). The H90 is running in stereo into an RJM PBC/6X and I have the preamp as an insert between algorithms pre/post of the H90 in dual mode. I am wondering if I should be setting the H90’s in/out 3/4 to line level as apparently that is what most fx loops are sending.

        Thanks

          Correct, most amp’s FX loops are line level.

            If the duo of your TK preamp and H90 is within an amp’s effects loop, I would say the H90’s operating levels should be line level, but it depends what kind of input the TK is expecting. The main thing we should be concerned about is that there is no significant drop in level when the H90 is bypassed. To set things up properly, I recommend setting the bypass mode to Relay and then using an INIT Program on the H90 which consists of two THRU utility algorithms. Bypassing and activating the H90 should render no change in your signal volume. If it does, adjust the I/O operating levels until everything sounds balanced. Then you can change the bypass mode back to DSP if you want spillover/tails.

              Thanks for this, I’ll give that a try for sure
