Thanks for that, Per. I used to have a stereo preamp based rack setup,
but I'm trying to be much more compact and portable these days, just
carrying around a 2-unit rack bag plus amp and FCB. I suppose I'm
trying to create a versatile setup which will work for both looping and
'straight' scenarios. As you say, perhaps this isn't possible with a
tube amp, at least not via the FX loop. For the moment, I will probably
use my POD in bypass mode as a preamp/line driver, and just run
everything directly into the amp.
