110 RD-50 FX Loop or PWR-AMP-IN MOD uk-based

ukj

Excuse if this is a duplicate thread
I'd like to insert direct to power amp at line-level if possible
A full FX loop isn't necessary but if it's worth doing at the same time I'd look at that too.
The amp is unmodified at the moment and all original from, I think,1981.
My skills may not be up to this and I don't have a scope at the moment.
I'd probably be looking at finding a tech in the UK who can do it if possible.
Any experience or tech info would be very welcome
Thanks
Dave

Hi Bill
Many thanks for your reply.
I’m not fully familiar with all the Musicman amps but I think that is just a feature on the bigger ones.
The RD-50 doesn’t have any in/out for a loop nor a master volume as far as I can tell.
I have looked at the schematic posted on this site and it seems to confirm this.
It’s a great amp but for me to get the most out of it in my setup it looks like I’ll have to try to mod.
Glad you like your own.
Thanks
JK

That's too bad, I am going to make a volume pedal for mine when I find a low enough resistance pot that will fit an old wah. (Gear driven)

That sounds a good idea - I'm sure there will be the right pots out there ?!
