Hi folks.
I have considered many possible paths in regarding buying/setting up an AxeFx:
power amp/cab
FRFR system
running into the fx loop of an amp, etc.
For my purposes, I think the most convenient set-up for me, will be to simply use the AxeFx for its effects in conjunction with the 59 Bassman clone that I'm having built right now.
Here is my question:
Would I NEED to have an fx loop in my amp to run the AxeFx, or, since the Bassman has 4 different inputs, could I simply run the AxeFx into the amp somehow that way?
I could call my builder and tell him to add an fx loop (for $250 extra), but if it is unnecessary and the tone won't be affected, then I'll leave the amp as is.
Folks who have a 59 Bassman do all sorts of stuff in regard to running fx into the inputs in a certain configuration, but I am a noob to that, as I've never previously owned a one channel amp.
Your thoughts regarding this would be much appreciated!
(In case you guys are wondering why I wouldn't just want a wedge, or powered monitors-- the Bassman is my Holy Grail clean tone, nothing I've ever heard comes close. I'm really just wanting the AxeFx to simplify things, so I don't need to carry around 3 delay pedals, a chorus pedal, a compressor, a noise gate, a distortion pedal, etc.)
