Using Alternative Input to connect MP3 player (With Effects Loop active)

  • So if I get this correct, you can't connect/use an MP3/phone in the Alternative Input, when you have an actual effects loop running into the Send and Return inputs? (on the rear)

  • The Aux In function of Head and Rack models competes with the effect loop. Both functions occupy the RETURN and the ALTERNATIVE IN. Even if you just use a Loop Mono or Loop Distortion, which physically just needs the RETURN, there is a conflict, as the Aux In always occupies ALTERNATIVE IN and RETURN.


    The Stage offers more inputs and supports up to two effect loops or one effect loop plus Aux In.
