I'm using the G-System with 4 cables method on two of my Marshall (1959SLP and 2203X)
I had trouble with the effect loop on these amps with the G-System (some kind of impedance mismatch). So I bought a stereo DI-Box (as suggested somewhere) to connect my two amps between the effect loop send (amps) and the loop return (G-Sys). Now, it sounds good, but there is a loss in volume and gain on the two amps. The loop is set at 0db on the G-Sys. Is it normal?
I think its a good DI-Box... Radial ProD2.
Thanks!!
This is normal, as DIs generally also pad the signal that passes through them. You have two choices:
1) Instead of a DI, use a buffer (which will resolve the impedance issue without the side-effect of padding the signal.
2) Add a clean boost between the G-System output and the amp FX return to restore the signal that was padded off by the DI
I think that you would do better with (2) at this point. ANY good clean boost will do.
