So I've never liked having the effects loop engaged to enable the master volume on my Triple Rec because it always sounded worse to me than just using the channel masters, even at the same volume. Which was weird b/c I always use the master level on my Mark V and it sounds great. With my triple I have nothing hooked up in the loop, I just engaged it to enable the master volume. I also don't have the foot switch to toggle the loop on and off.
So.... With that said, today I was messing around with the loop and decided to turn the Mix knob all the way down to 10%. What a difference that made, my master volume was now usable. It sounded 100 times better. I had been just leaving the mix knob at 12 o'clock. I'm wondering if that was why i wasnt pleased with the loop engaged before.
Should I be turning the mix 100% DRY if I have nothing in the loop? (which is labeled 10%)
Also should I put a dummy patch cable to connect the send and return?
And is not having a foot switch causing any tone loss? I'm guessing the loop is permanently engaged without the foot switch attached to toggle it on and off?
