Sorry for this, but what does that mean? This is the first time I have ever tried the effects loop, so I'm embarrassed to say I don't know how to do what you've suggested.
As for the diagrams, I saw the same layouts in my manual, nothing there specifically for a head. I just assumed that the pre- and power-amps comprise the head and so just used the loop.
This is a bit frustrating, I had no idea how little I knew about gear and hookups.
