AC15VR effects loop mod/schematic?

Postby Erotic Elbows » 13 Jun 2010, 19:23

I'd heavily interested in the AC15VR. I used to have an AD30VT, then I swapped it for an AC4TV, and now I'm thinking of swapping that for an AC15VR.

The AC4 is not very good at taking pedals and gets too "saggy" at high gain. I like that it's a simple cool sounding tube amp but I find myself hardly using it anymore.

The AC15VR seems fantastic. I wanted a real AC15 and was put off this at first since it didn't even seem to have a proper TB. However the variety in having OD1 and OD2 is great - an AC amp with a high gain channel is just crazy.

The thing that sucks though is that they've given it a high gain sound but no effects loop. And the reverb is weak(though at least I don't have to play dry), so getting those Joy Divisiony kind of tones might be hard.

I would really want to mod an effects loop into it. However the VRs are SS hybrid amps rather than modeler hybrid amps so I imagine the architecture is different.

Has anyone successfully modded one? Does anyone know where I can get a schematic?

modeling = DSP (digital signal processor) = solid state

I'm sure the same basic signal path is the same as the blue series VTs. Instead of the signal processor to get the modeling, the use of discrete transistors is used to get the base sound.
