Further to a recent question i asked aboot the pedal order, why do amps have an effects loop?
when I first got my amp I tried it and it was significantly quieter than going through the amp.
Thanks for your time, Im confused and intrigued.
cheers

general rule of thumb is that modulations and delays sound good in the effects loop. i personally don't like them.
so basically, it just gives you more options in terms of effect placement and sound.
I like to use the effects loop personally. To me it produces a much different sound, which I like. it seems to make those effects more effective and keeps them from getting jumbled up with my other effects. Try it both ways and decide for yourself. It's all a matter of taste.
I don't have any loss of volume when using my effects loop. Just check and make sure you have everything hooked up right: Guitar in normal imput, cable going form out on effect to in on loop, cable going from out on loop to in on effect.
My effects loop has wet or dry setting. As well as volume control. Or effects loop level control.
I miss you already, I miss you all day
I've never had an effect loop with wet/dry so I can't help you much there.
Remember on the volume that it's not only the volume you have set for the effects loop, but how you have the pedals set as well.
