So I just got an amp with a good effects loop, I've never used an effects loop before. Amp is a Marshall 2555x.
I currently own a Boss DD-20 and Boss RV-5, and they live on my board, which is only set up to go into the front end of an amplifier. I stuck them in the loop and was quite impressed with the sound!
My question is this, are there any Delay & Reverb pedals that excel in the loop of an amp? I'd really like to not rewire my current pedalboard, but I'd like to do this effects loop thing up right. I know that the DD-20 has a system setting that can be changed from -10db to +4db, supposedly for use in a loop.
Previous great experiences with Boss pedals lead me to look at the DD-3 or DD-7, and maybe another RV series? Do these work well in a loop? Maybe I end up with an RV-2 or RV-3 and like it so much that the RV-5 gets delegated to FX Loop duties and the new pedal goes on my board.
Would an analog delay or a tape echo type unit be nice? I guess darker echoes work nicely behind an overdriven lead sound so they stay out of the way? I know lots of legendary players used Echoplex units, but mostly in front of the amp, right?
Please advise for small, affordable, simple effects boxes that work well in a loop!
