Yes, that's exactly why there is an effect loop on "better" amps.

And maggior, I know what you mean. I always have my wah and distortion going into the amps input.

There is something I figured out though; it's not the best solution, but it's something:

The Blackstar HT-1R has an emulated output jack where you can connect it to an interface or regular speakers. So I connected it to my delay pedal, then connect the delay pedal to my speakers, and it works! So for recording it looks like this will be okay.

I just wish it had an effects loop. But I guess this company realized that most people would be using this amp for practice, so there's not as much of a need to be able to set up all my pedals.

Thanks for the info.

For recording, that's a great solution...good idea. I think you are right that since it is a practice amp, it's not going to have the extra of an effects loop. Something for you to keep in mind when you get yourself an amp for gigging!
