I'm very new to tube amps and brand new to the forum. Looking for second and third opinions regarding the non functioning tone controls when my effects loop is engaged.
I have a Crate USA V3112. Whenever I plug a pedal or my Fender Satellite SFX powered cabinet into the effects loop all the tone controls become disabled. They function fine when any pedal is in front of the amp but the Fender Satellite requires the loop be used to add the CRate amp. Once the amp or any pedals are attached, the Crate loses tone controls???
I had taken it into a Crate repair shop under warranty and all they told me was that it was normal for this amp??? That sounded like an easy way out of any responsibility on their part and it just doesn't make any sense to me at all. That can't be right...can it??? I have checked and double checked the connections, everything is in order and everything works as it should, other than having NO tone controls at all when the effects loop is engaged.
Any knowledge of such things would be greatly appreciated. HELP!
Thank you.
