Effects loop question...

[rwe333]

Apologies in advance if this in a bone-headed question...

I have the option of having the factory add an fx loop to a new amp (Matchess).
I understand that the addition of the loop could rob some signal from the amp...
Is this the case? Best to for-go the option? Or is it negligible as the amp already has reverb and tremolo?
Only things I'd consider putting in the loop would be delay and perhaps a looper now and again...
Thanks for any advice... My main concern is having the amp sound as good as it can...

I'd suspect the tonal effects are fairly minimal. However, for the best info, I'd be inclined to get the opinion of Maatchless themselves.

IMHO, effects loops are oft maligned for sucking tone when it's just that they're poorly planned and implemented. I don't see anyone complaining about the effects loops in the Suhr Badgers or the CAA amps...

If you have reverb and tremolo in the amp, you probably have something in the signal chain between the preamp and power amp sections already anyway. An added effects loop would only affect signal quality if the design and implementation is poor.
