Is it possible to connect one FX Loop to another FX Loop on an amplifier?
Yes, one FX loop can be connected to another FX loop on an amplifier, however this is not a popular configuration.
Connection
Typically, you would connect one FX loop’s Send to another FX loop’s Return.
Purpose
This configuration can be used to mix effects from two distinct amplifiers or to build a more sophisticated signal chain.
Consideration
- Signal levels must be adjusted to prevent undesired noise or distortion.
- Be aware of any potential ground loop issues.
- The sequence of effects is determined by the FX loop you choose as the “primary” one.
Alternatives
Instead of joining FX loops, many musicians prefer to use a single FX loop and manage their effects chain with the dedicated effects switcher (or) looper pedal.
