Opinions?

I've got an old Alesis Midiverb IV kicking around here somewhere.

What could possibly go wrong if I run it through the send / return loop of my Blackstar Amp?

    Make sure the loop is AFTER the pre amp stage and is in parallel . I tried this with 2 different guitar amps and found that the efx's loops are not set up like a mixing board loop. Both the ones I used if you looked at the circuit diagram took the signal directly at the input BEFORE the pre amp. ( series)  In other word, just the same as plugging the guitar directly into it. 

    Those rack efxs are designed to go in a efxs loop of a mixer so are looking for line level. So with mine ( Roland ) it was to hot a signal coming from the guitar and sucked my tone right out the window. 
    If your lucky the blackstar has a real parallel efxs loop. 

    otherwise your stuck with adding the efx via a mike or line out to the mixer/interface.

    Cheers Johnny.

    A lot of that had already crossed my mind, and of course the M/Verb has a stereo output so I'll only be able to use one side of it.
