Ok I put this on TGP because there seems to be a lot of pedal gurus on there but the traffic is high and it will probably be overlooked and I wanted to post it here. It is a copy/paste and a very lengthy read. I apologize in advance
Hopefully I can explain this right but I am having a hard time determining what to look for regarding Pedal specs. I truly apologize for this long post and really appreciate anyone who can help.
I have a Bogner Uberschall Revision 2 which has a series loop and it was designed for rack gear. I cannot verify if it is line level output but I think that it is.
The channel volume is also the effects loop send level which is a problem for me and I am getting some horrible noises (squeal/screech) if I turn it up. Assuming because it is too hot and my pedals cannot handle this so I have a few questions.
First, the pedals. What exact spec should I be looking for on a pedal to know this pedal will work with my super hot line level loop? Impedance I assume here? If not please advise..
If yes then what in the ever living mother haha. I have some confusion because different companies have different descriptions. Example, MXR 10 Band says input 470k OHM and output 5k OHM but then it also says max level at 1k hz, All sliders at 0db...5.2rms (+14dbv)
That is like reading a foreign language but very specific whereas my TC Toneprint pedals say simply input 1M, output 100. Ok easy to read but is that enough info?
So for this part I am just simply seeking in layman's terms what do I need to look for and how will I know that a pedal is good for my loop?
The other question I have is regarding these line level shifter devices. Ebtech Line Level Shifter and Morley Effects Loop Corrector. Are these the answer to my problems? I have seen mixed reviews here and TBH it sounds too good to be true.
If I get one of these will it work for all my pedals? What if I get a instrument level pedal in the chain next to a live level type pedal? Will this box fix everything accordingly, or will I still need to have either all Line Level Pedals or all Instrument Level Pedals?
That is really all I have, just some confusion and am not sure what to do. I love this amp but the FX Loop is absolutely killing me.
Any advise and input is appreciated but please do not just tell me to crank my Master Volume, that is not what I want here.
Here is what I have in the chain and if anyone could confirm with pedals like a gate or a tuner, do I even need to worry about this issue?
G string 2, TC HOF, TC Corona, MXR 10 Band, Suhr Koko Boost, Turbo Tuner ST-200.
I did get the Boneshaker but it is a toy and not living on the board. I also plan to get a TC Flashback and a Wah pedal.
