Hi Joe,

Thanks so much for your detailed response, it’s incredibly helpful  I know some of this is probably detailed in the ML documentation but sometimes reading it in technical terms bounces off my brain, so I appreciate you breaking it down.

Re your first and second points about placing the ML in my amp FX loop: my amp is a 30w tube stack (monoprice stage right) that has an adjustable gain switch for the FX loop, with options for either 0db or -10db. In your opinion, would the -10db setting be enough to tame the signal from the amp head preamp? I know I would likely still have to fiddle with the input gain on the ML when switching between guitar and vocals, but I plan to use a looper to layer parts while practicing and could adjust the gain between takes. I’m more curious if this is the “level of control” you’re referring to as something that most amps lack.

Thanks again for your time,

Nick
