mine (Laney VH100r) has a pretty unique setup. it's got a seaparate effects loop for the clean, the dirty, for both...then it's got a preamp out and a power amp in (yet another fx loop) then you can set it to side chain (parallel?) wherein the signal doesn't pass thru the effect, an "insert" which makes the signal pass thru the effect, or you can bypass it...
i bypass it...
sayang naman mga pedals ko kung di ko rin gagamitin...heheh...tonal variety...
