Found some useful info on peddals here but I am not clear if this is going to work. I have a tube preamp/multi effects running to a tube power amp in a rack. The distortion is something I have been fussing most with as all other effects are fine.
So, does it make sense to put an OD or distortion pedal in front of the preamp or should I use the FX loop? For background I can control the effects in the programs but to date distortion still sounds kinda "splashy" in power cords, individual notes are great. Example is 12 bar blues, intro and exit sound great (single notes), chords not up to par.
I have a Seymour Duncan twin tube classic for OD, and the web site directs it to be hooked up to the amp or power amp in the input, no mention of using a preamp or FX loop.
Thanks
