    Pros and cons of effects between amp and cab blocks

    Hi Thanks for your experience chaps @unix-guy "insist" was maybe the wrong word in my comment and what I should have used was " commonly " which you answered beautifully. @Moke your routing thought to a trad cab is what I'm aiming for since I have a Marshal JCM1936 "spare" wanted to see how I...
