Nomad FX Loop

[lerxst88]

Why is it that anytime I put ANYTHING in the effects loop of my Nomad, it brings the overall tone down?

Ive recently tried a Boss GT-5, an EHX Memory Man w/Hazarai, and an ADA Delay rack unit.

because the loop is parallel not serial. however it's easy to mod!

I tried it (although maybe i didnt do it right) and I noticed no difference.

whats the right way to mod it? after you do you need to keep a cable connected between the send and return jacks right?

i don't need to keep a cable connected just works like a serial loop. made a difference in my amp. just have to disconnect the mix know bassically.

just desolder it or what?

I'm interested in the loop mod too! If anybody can find it, it'd be much appreciated.

I tried something that I thought would work.

The jacks for the effects loop are stereo or something and when you plug into them then its like a serial loop? anyway I tried to bend the jack around so there would be no connection if the jacks were unplugged between the power amp and preamp but I guess i did it wrong because sound would still come through and my effects made my amp sound crappy

do you have a schematic? you just have to unsolder the signal feed from the pot. it's either pin 1 or 3 can't remember which. You could even label and unsolder them all from the pot. Don't forget to insulate! also don't forget to discharge the amp. Jacks r not stereo but at least one is a switching jack.
