Lame question

Im confused about how to run an effects pedal into an amp???

To run an effects pedal to your amp, you'll need two guitar cables: one to go from the output of the pedal to the amplifier and another to go from the input of the pedal to the guitar.

[AMP] <--- [EFFECTS UNIT] <---- [GUITAR]

It gets more complicated when you start using mulitple units (since you want to get the most usage out of each unit and still get the best sound possible), but that's should help you get started. Pretty much, the place where you would normally plug your guitar in is where you plug the effects unit into (on the amp). All that you're doing here is creating a chain from the amp to the guitar. Hope that helps ya.

If you have any questions, feel free to send me an e-mail (using the webform in my instruction section).

Guitar----->Effects------>Amp

You have an "In" and "Out" on you effects pedal/board, you go IN with your guitar, then OUT FROM your Effects, into the IN on your Amp

:) Hope that helps

Thats what i was thinking. Thanx a bunch. ;)

Some amps have an effects loop as well. In this case, you can run your guitar straight to the amp, then a seperate cord comes from a send going to your series of effects, then returning to the return of the amp. I have one on my amp, but honestly never use it and just do it as mentioned above. Also keep in mind that the order of the pedals greatly affects your tone...so experiment with different orders of sequence if you're using multiple pedals.
