I have a big muff distortion pedal and guitar looper. What will this amp do justice to the Big Muff pedal, looper or on/off looper pedal?

It will be done in sequence; first the big muff then the signal will go to the looper, and finally to the speaker. You just have to use the clean channel.

I'm not familiar with either of the other loopers, what I can tell ya is that the RC300 doesn't seem to suck any tone or fidelity away. I'm running an Axe FX 2 to it, and I also used to have the Boss GT-100 & it worked well with that as well. It's a great looping station as far as I'm concerned & I like the advantage of all the foot switches. Those other two look pretty sweet as well, I'm just very familiar with the Boss stuff as I've owned the GT6, GT8, GT10 & GT100. I been playin guitar for 25 years fwiw. I went with the RC300 mostly cause I know very well how to navigate the Boss Menus and programming. However now that I have the Axe FX 2 I sold the GT. Hope I helped ya.

The pedal offers all that you described above. It is customizable to your taste but I agree with the other review that it is too complicated. You might just consider buying separate pedals. But all in all if you mainly play distortion this one has a lot to offer.

This amp sounds great but for heavier stuff (like Metallica) you'll want to get a distortion pedal. Most of the stuff I play is rock, blues, and some country - this amp is perfect for what I use it for. The built in effects are pretty ok but if you want reverb and, say, chorus then you're outta luck since you can only use one at a time. Mostly just play it with some overdrive and reverb. For a little practice amp this thing screams. Crank up the gain and the volume and you're sure to piss off your neighbors. If you need it louder for a gig, stick a mic in front of it and plug it in to the PA.

No, you can operate them on the amp itself, however adding the pedal gives you additional control with the looper ,delay, and channel switch abilities. Personally as someone who gigs every now and then, I highly recommend getting the pedal.

This amp has loop effects, send and return, so you can use it pluggin in the last position of chain of pedal effects. But sure, the tone will change a little like chorus if you get drive or distortion, but in clean it is ok.

I don't know about a looper specifically, but you can connect it to other effects pedals. I also think it may have a looper setting built in.

No. A loop pedal is not the same thing. You need an input/output clearly marked as "effects loop" on the rear or your amp to make use of this device. You'll risk damaging your amp otherwise.

The amp has clean/overdrive, but if you are looking for any real distortion I'd suggest getting a standalone distortion pedal

I sold mine too as it hums like crazy. I bought the Zoom G1XN Guitar Multi Effects Pedal from Amazon instead. This one has so many good stuffs. I love to use it each time I play guitar in the church. It acts as a great preamp even with effect turned OFF.

Better yet sign up for thegearpage.net if you aren't and ask the question in the Effects & Pedals thread -- those guys have every pedal known on earth and someone will answer you quick. It's free. I'd do this before ANYTHING else.

You can access all effects and amp modeling but of course having a footswitch to change patches is a great value. One thing you can't do from the amp is access the looper. This looper is a great effect to use, just try it a while to get used to how it works and you can layer tracks in no time. Download the manual and you can learn more all about it.

The amp gets pretty decent distortion if you tune it up right, no need to immediatley get a distortion switch unless you want a different tone. If you do I reccomend the MXR Distortion+.

Yes, a looper like the Ditto x 2 comes after any stompboxes and just before input into your amp, so it is independant and unaffected by amp type.Can it be used in an amp effects loop is a good question though. I would say not, better to remain out in front of amp and after effects.

Its a great little amp but I don't think it will do well on the bass notes. The distortion is increased as the guitar volume knob goes up. I tried my bass on it and it works but I wouldn't use it as a bass amp even for practice. Perfect for your guitar though
