Q. What's the best order to put my effects in
A. The order that you place your effects makes a dramatic difference to
your guitar sound.
Do you phase your distortion or do you distort your phaser?
Of course, there are no set rules and with TheGigRig, you can experiment
as much as you like. I've found the following to be a good place to start.

Q. How do I use TheGigRig Pro-14 with the effects loop in my amp?
The effects loop in your guitar amplifier gives you an insertion point
between your pre-amp and your power amp for you to connect your effects.
With TheGigRig, you can insert the pre-amp section of your amplifier into
any point in the signal chain. We advise the use of a HumDinger in this set-
up to make sure there are no possible earth loops. Here's how we do it.
e.g. Say I want my compression and overdrive pedals going into the front
of the amp and my modulation and delay effects in my amps effects loop, I
would use the effect loop that is after my overdrive and before my
modulation effects. The send from the Pro-14 is plugged into the input of
the HumDinger, and the isolated out of the HumDinger is plugged into the
front of your amp. The effects send from the amplifier is plugged into the
return of the Pro-14. What you've done is placed your pre-amp where you
want it in your signal path. The output of the Pro-14 then goes to the
return on your amplifier.
If you have 2 amps, each with their own effects loops you can actually
choose which pre-amp you send to which power amp!
