Hello everyone,
I am nearing completion of a modded Vibro Champ build and one of the things that I cannot decide is the placement of the effects loop that is being added. Usually this is inserted before the phase inverter but in this case, I wish to have the loop after the inverter as this is used for the tremolo function and I want it to be pre pedal board. I can wire the switched jacks so that with the loop in or out there is always 0.02uF before the power tube.
I know this alteration seems excessive with such a simple amp, but I prefer how much cleaner and more detailed my effect pedals sound using a post preamp insert rather than everything directly into the amp's input. I am wondering if anyone one here has performed this modification and if there were any surprises that had to be addressed.
Schematic attached for reference.
Thanks!
Paul
