I am down loading the update. how is the effects loop going to work? plug cable's into where

The handbook is your friend...

"Switching on the Effects Loop transforms the Emulated Output and MP3/Line Input
sockets into ‘Preamp Out’ (for sending a signal to your external effects) and ‘Power
Amp In’ (for returning the effected signal to your amp)."

So, cable from the EO to your effects, then from effects back to the MP3/Line Input.

Anyone know if their's a CC midi command to toggle the loop on/off??? There was no update in the amp manual where the CC command #'s are listed.

I use rack and pedals in the loop, all midi controlled. Need a way to switch the loop on/off.

Can anyone tell me if the ID:30 will also get the upgrade to use the emulated out and line in as an effects loop? local distributor refuses to bring in anything above the 30s dispite me being willing to pay for a 60 But without an effects loop I'd rather get something else.

The ID:30 has MP3/Line Input as well as Emulated Speaker Output, and all the amps have the same software/firmware available to them. That said, it should work the same way.

Correction...

After looking at the front face of the ID:30, the MP3/Line In and Emulated Output are on the front and are 1/8". You'd have to use some adapters, if it works that way at all. You may want to wait until someone who actually owns this model speaks up..

Sorry for any confusion.

For the record, I have done this on my ID:15 and it works a treat. I did need adaptors for the 6.35mm plugs into 3mm sockets, but it all hangs together well.

As an earlier poster said: effects pedal out into Line In, and EM out/headphones into effects pedal.

cant seem to get it to work with my ID 15

...how did you connect the pedal...and did you have to select anything in the software.

'ive the mp3 into emulated...and the mp3 into power amp selected

...cant see any selection for effects loop....if theres meant to be one?

Although that previous guy said that he managed it on his ID15, the Insider manual says:

2. Mono effects loop
(ID:60TVP, ID:60TVP-H, ID:260TVP and ID:100TVP only)
Switching on the Effects Loop transforms the Emulated Output and MP3/Line
Input sockets into 'Preamp Out' (for sending a signal to your external effects) and
'Power Amp In' (for returning the effected signal to your amplifier). This means that
in addition to using the studio quality effects within your amplifier, you can place your
own external effects and stop boxes 'in the loop' for the best sonic performance.
When the Effects Loop is activated, you may still use the USB audio interface as a
line In/out.

thanks.

so that would be a no then for the ID15
