Run a cable from the Send to the effects and a cable from the effects to the Return. This would be in place of running a cable from the bass guitar to the effects to the amp input.

SOURCE: EFFECTS LOOP NOT SURE.

The send jack on your amp should be connected to the input jack on your pedal and the return jack on your amp should be connected to the output jack on your pedal. Read the manuals for both the pedal and the amp. If you don't have them you can usually find them on the websites of the manufacturers. Make sure your levels on the amp and the pedal are turned down when you plug them in.

No, when you plug into the power amp in that disconnects the feed-through of the preamp.

i) If the crackle is there with all input signal cables removed, then likely to be the head.

ii) Does the crackle vary noisily with control settings? If so, move noisy control to & fro about 10 times to wipe any dirt from internals (temporary solution).

iii) If ii) is not a problem, then tap head casing to check whether a dry solder joint or poor internal connection is the cause. Was unit dropped?

iv) If none of the above, then suspect possible component breakdown.

DO NOT try a guitar pedal as an effects insert via the back jacks... they are for an external line level EQ/Effects type unit. Your guitar pedal should NOT have caused any damage. Check the power adapter you are using with the BP200. The BP200 takes a 9 VAC adapter, NOT a 9VDC type common to most pedals. You cannot use one of the Pedal Train type supplies with the BP200. Also check that you have the in's and out's correct on the pedal... backwards and they will cause what you are observing.. Verify your cables are good. The output of the pedal goes in the FRONT jacks of the amp. ONLY line level drives go to the back jacks.

Peavey classic chorus 1991 -how do you connect a distortion pedal the power amp jacks at rear tried affects loop in front bid drop in power-do you connect same way as effects loop with send /return

Pedals operate at a different level then rack units that go in the effects loop.
It needs to go in front of the amp input. Guitar to pedal to amp input.

I have a Peavey XR-600 PA Head, I would like to know if and how can I connect a MX 200 Dual Reverb Effects Processor to the PA Head?

If it has a effects loop output and input on the p.a. head and a in and out on the reverb effects processor, then yes you can, just run the effects loop output signal into the input on your reverb processor, out of the output back into the input effects loop on the p.a. head, kinda like you would a effects pedal thru the effects loop of a guitar amplifier. hope this helps!

Relay?? I've never seen a guitar or bass amp with "speaker protection relays"...usually they're either on or off. Check the simple stuff 1st...is speaker cable from head to cabinet and/or the input cable from bass to the amp good? Check the "Direct Out" for a line level signal (must be connected to a PA or other amplifier) as this is your preamp out signal. Also, plug a shielded cable from "Effects Send" to "Effects Return"...this will verify "effects" loop issues if any. Lastly, vibration test...use a clenched fist across the top, sides and bottom of wood cabinet to lightly "jar" the internal circuits. If it starts working even for an instant, I would suspect intermittent connection inside.

How To Use The effect Loop?

The effect loop is to use exteernal effect module... It is NOT to use guitar pedals !!!! The signals are line levels, NOT guitar type levels. An example of a device might be an Alesis Quadraverb. You take the effect send jack and run it into the inout of the effects module and the output of the effects module into the effects return jack. Many try to use guitar pedals and massive distortion results because levels are too high for the pedals.

I have a 30th special edition,,1962,,1992 marshall amp and want to know how to set up,,has jack plug in back,,not sure where it goes,,??

Well if there is anything you need to insert into the effects loop IE, wah pedals, noise gates etc etc the return is the output of the effect and the send would go to the input of the effect. As far as inputs those are all on the front panel.
