Running an AD30 out of a Cornford Hellcat FX Loop

Post by OU818 » Wed Jan 18, 2012 1:13 am

Hi guys,

I have been running this setup for a few months but just wanted to make sure it was safe continue doing so.

Currently I run my set up like this:

Cornford FX Send -> Stereo Delay Pedal -> Delay Pedal Out1 -> Cornford FX Return
Delay Pedal Out2 -> Orange AD30 Input

It sounds great, a little buzzy at idle but only when the Cornford Gain is cranked. I just want to make sure it isn't going to explode the AD30 one day as someone recently told me that the FX Loop is line level, not guitar level, so may not be safe to plug into the front input of the AD30.

Main reason I am asking now is that I am building a pedal board and am going to install TRS to TRS jacks to make this set up a feature of the board. Don't really want to be wasting money to do something harmful to the amp.

Cheers!
