Hey guys,
I have gotten a few answers on this and do not want to take a chance with my amp. What I am trying to achieve is to hook my Roland VG-99 into the effects loop of my Mark V. I have been told there might be some impedance issues. So, what I need to do is go from the Mark V send, to the Guitar In on the VG-099, then from the Main Out on the VG-99 to the Effects Return on the Mark V. Here are the specs I was able to get from the Roland Site:
AD Conversion
24 bits + AF method
DA Conversion
24 bits
Sampling Frequency
44.1 kHz
Program Memories
400: 200 (User) + 200 (Preset)
Nominal Input Level
GUITAR INPUT: -10 dBu
Input Impedance
GUITAR INPUT: 2.2 M ohm
Nominal Output Level
MAIN OUT: -10 dBuSUB OUT (XLR): +4 dBuGUITAR OUT: -10 dBu
Output Impedance
MAIN OUT: 1 k ohmSUB OUT (XLR): 600 ohms
Dynamic Range
100 dB or greater (IHF-A)
Digital Output
Coaxial type (conforms to IEC60958)
I was told I might need a signal attenuator and was thus guided to this by a GC rep:

Roland VG-99 Manual:
http://www.roland.com/support/article/?q=manuals&p=VG-99&id=1810904
Any help? I have been able to use the VG-99 in combination with the FC-300 to do Channel Switching beautifully. I am just afraid I will be hooking this up in the effects loop incorrectly and do not want to damage either of my babies. Keep in mind, I am only using the VG-99 for effect, not COSM sounds.
Thanks,
