Hey everybody,
I am new to the MTS world and am full of awe at how long I have missed out on this awesome gear! I just bought a used Randall RM50 and am borrowing some stock mods (Randall Clean, Randall Plexi) until I can get some of my own.
This is the first amp that I have owned that has an effects loop that I want to use. I have, what is probably a stupid question about a situation I am in. I was using the series effects loop to run some effects. The chain went as follows: Send>Subdecay Quasar Phaser>Strymon El Capistan>Strymon Flint> Return. I had used this set up a few times before and it all sounded extraordinary! I was at practice the other day and all of a sudden my Strymon Flint malfunctioned. The reverb went completely dry and the tremelo side, when engaged, cut the signal entirely. The pedal still turns on but is obviously not in proper working order. I began to wonder about the effects loop and if it could have damaged the pedal... I was running the Master of the RM50 almost all the way up and controlling my volume with modules master volume. I am a little wary of trying to use this amazing set up again for fear that I could harm another $300+ pedal. Is this all fiction or did I miss something very important before I jumped into this effects loop business? Thanks in advance for helping a newbie out...
