here's my problem. i like to use my channels on my blues deluxe. i like to run the dirt and boosters in the front end of the amp and like to keep my delays undistorted by sticking it in my fx loop. the thing is i dont like lots of cables going back and forth to run my delay pedal in the loop. i need to just be able to switch the loop in and out.

ideas? i'm looking for a new amp anyway maybe something marshall esq or something.

Usual questions - how much have you got to spend, combo or head, and what music do you play mostly?

depends on how much i get for the blues deluxe or if i decide to keep it.

probably around Â£400 to Â£600 either new or secondhand. had seen a couple of nice jcm 900 combos. i'm a fan of combos, not really into stacks.

music wise i flit between blues, classic rock, indie with a lot of prog rock thrown in.

if it's something really nice i dont mind shelling out a bit more.

unless you can make my blues deluxe have a fx loop switch.

Not that I like Blue Deluxes, but couldn't you get it modded?

can't you just use a boss line selector or A/B box in the loop with a 1/4" merge back on the input?

build or buy something that turns the fx return jack into two inputs (doesn't need to be a mixer...), then send the send to the A/B, output A goes back to the return, output B goes through your effects, then back to the loop.
