Gain-based effects like EQ, compression, and distortion should NEVER go through an effects loop. Effects loops are for time-based effects like Flange, Delay, Reverb, and Chorus. Put those effects in front of the amp. I've heard people say the exact opposite of what you just said. :shock: Now I'm to...

Re: A few questions.

Two guitarists. One has a Randall head and Marshall cab and the other has a Marshall head (I think) and cab. Not sure how many watts they put out but I know one of them wants to get a Triple Rectifier. My amp puts out 400 watts. A lot of my bass gets lost in the bass drums also. I guess I never rea...

How are Schecter guitars/basses? I've been looking into them and they appear well made and have a lot of good reviews. I've always shyed away from them since they were usually endorsed by people that weren't very talent inclined. talking about guitars, they fucking own. And are "damn cheap&quo...

If you can palm mute accurately then your sorted, you need to learn some good left hand muting for some sweeps and the odd bit of rhythm too though.

Well Active Pick ups (EMG) do add a lot of extra gain somehow to the sound and that's what makes EMG sound nearly exactly the same in no matter what guitar you put them.
