Effects Loop Explained: When, Why & How To Use Your FX Loop

Effects Loops (AKA FX Loops) are everywhere. They're on amps, pedals, modelers, heck, your ma probably has an effects loop on that crock pot she's had since the Carter administration... Despite their omnipresence, not everybody takes advantage of their effects loops. In fact, Ryan from The Stringjoy Show—by his own admission—is a sparse user of effects loops at best... After a little cajoling, we convinced Ryan to tackle the subject of Effects Loops this episode, and make some real-deal comparisons of what it sounds like to use the FX loop vs going straight into the amp, so you can decide whether this is something you want to add to your tonal tackle box, or throw back to the sea.
