How is the tourmaster effects loop?

[Sr. Blanco]

Is it transparent and does it sound good? I'm going to sell my single channel M4 and either purchase a dual channel M4 or the tourmaster. I'm really growing tired of carrying two heavy rack cases around which is my only reason for considering the tourmaster. Right now I use a Rocktron replifex between the pre and power amp with great results. I like the idea of having just a head but I dont want to screw up the tone when running effects in the loop.

It sounds really good to me- I have never had any issues with the Tourmaster effects loop at all. The only thing I have thought is that it might be nice if it had separate series and parallel loops like the Mod 50, but it is switchable and it is a very minor comment.
