Hookup Question

Post by Graham »

I have a Nashville 400 and just bought an Ibanez DD700 rack unit Digital Delay.

My question is this:

What is the best way to hook this up? Pedal to delay unit to amp OR pedal to amp and use the pre eq patches for the delay unit.

Also, would anybody have a manual or whatever for this unit they would be wiling to copy for me? I'll be glad to pay for it.

Thanks.

If I'm not mistaken, there is an effects loop in the back of the 400 that Mike Brown usually recommends using for an effects unit.

Erv:
Ones on the back are pre-amp in and out. Don't think I should use those, but I don't know for sure.
Thanks for the response.

Graham,
The jacks in the back are the correct ones to use. Use the front pre-EQ connections if you use a 3 chord patch with your volume pedal and the back for your effects loop. I've used the back panel connections with my Nashville 400 for about 8 years now and haven't had any problems at all, I did try the front connections once and I had a little noise there.......Have a good 'un, JH

Erv and Jerry:
Hooked it up to the back ones and it seems to work just fine.

Many thanks.

I'd probably use the PRE AMP OUT AND POWER AMP IN jacks on the rear panel for effects.
