Hi all,
I recently discovered the MixingLink and am delighted by the idea of running my vocals through pedals, but I have some questions about how I could fit it into my setup. Some of these might seem a little silly, but I’m having trouble finding any info on the specific questions I have, so forgive me if some of these seem obvious.
Context/Setup: currently I run my guitar -> dirt/color pedals (tuner, envelope filter, fuzz, compressor, overdrive) -> amp -> modulation + looper in amp fx loop. I’d like to throw a MixingLink somewhere in there to add fx to vocals but here’s where my questions arise.
1. Would the best way to do this be to put the MixingLink in my amp fx loop and the time-based fx into the mixing link loop?
2. If so, since the ML is a pre-amp, are there any dangers/downsides to having the pre-amp of the ML directly after the pre-amp of my amp? And outta curiosity, if I were to put it in front of the amp is there any downside aside from having to manage levels?
<span style=”font-size: inherit;”>3. Would I be risking damage to my amp sending effected vocals through my amp in the fx loop? (I know that guitar amps are not tuned for vocal frequency response, I’m just looking out for “never do this” situations I might not be aware of.</span>
4. For those of you with them, if I were to get a cab sim pedal to use with the mixing loop, how does it sound? And would the cab sim take a signal from the “to amp” jack or should it be placed in the ML fx loop?
Again sorry if some of these are silly and more general “how to do audio routing questions” I’m just trying to get a sense of how I could utilize this with my current setup, or if additional gear would be required to route everything properly.
Thanks, and happy jamming,
Nick
