    SOLVED: FM9 and Marshall JVM410H Noisy Effects Loop

    Negative. The insert loop is after the preamp sections and before the master section. Plain, old-fashioned, unbuffered effects loop. Try it.

    Which loop are you using? I would rely on the insert loop to make sure you don’t have any phase issues with the parallel mix knob. It’s a start, anyway.

    Mesa MKIIC+ 4CM vs USA IIC+ Deep

    The volume disparity and wildness are at least partially the fault of me pulling out the amp's lead bright at a lower volume, and then when I turned up the master it was much more noticeable and louder. My fault. I used my ears to try and get the sounds similar, but the change in master volume...

    Yes I have patches that will disable my Reverb block all of a sudden. Same patches will have in useable switching lags, I.e. 1-2 second delays in turning on/off blocks, having to hold 4-5 seconds to change from X to Y, etc. Definitely underpowered for the intended use.

    4CM snake

    They don't make snake cable in single pair increments. The next size up is an 8 pair. You could add a single balanced line cable and use braided shield for the whole assembly. Or use MIDI with an RJM Gizmo to control your amp.

    4CM snake

    No. TGS-04 specs out better than Mogami 2931, in terms of capacitance and resistance. This is studio snake cable designed for low noise and coloration. If anything I would like a heavier gauge for mechanical strength, but no issues at all with moving electrons.

    4CM snake
