Mark,

 

Tying in with with what Bruce said, I would not use any digital effect unit
as an insert effect ,which is basically what you're doing when you 

you feed the trons output , through the fx unit, to the amp.The quality of
the AD/DA converters of many of these units could be better.

I would make  sure to connect and line up your tron as cleanly as possible
and then feed any external reverb / multifx units with aux busses, 

also giving you more control over the levels.I always prefer to have effects
unit return on separate channels, as opposed to fx return channels ,

as it gives me more flexibility to tweak it.

 

Cheers,H

Hi Bruce,
When I said living room I was speaking metaphorically,
my wife is not going to have this thing in her living
room, it's in a living sized room but well away from
our stereo. In fact I am quite lucky it's in the
house.

I notice that some of the low powered low cost amps do
accept CD input and I have wondered about using them,
which would be useful for indulging some middle aged
fanatsies. Then adding something like the Alesis
picoverb. I know very little about mixers etc what
model mixer do you use? 

I assume that if you are using a seperate reverb the
signal from the tron goes to that then the amplifier.
Would a mixer be in the same place? See what I mean?

Thanks

Mark
