triple rec+BBE sonic maximizer

[Griffin]

From the 482i manual:

"The BBE 482i is designed to work with -l0dBu line levels. This is suitable for professional and semi-pro mixers, P.A.
consoles, recording studios, or D.J. equipment. The BBE 482i drives load impedances down to 1K Ohm and supplies a
maximum output level of +18dBu. Plugging a guitar or other high impedance device directly into the BBE 482i will
not work properly as its input impedance is less than 50K ohms."

Looks like you might be having an impedance problem. Take a look at the recommended setups on page 10 of the manual here: http://www.bbesound.com/support/prod...82i_manual.pdf

Looks like they recommend a preamp before the SM. You might want to find out where your effects loop is inserted in your amps signal.

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.
