    Thanks for this, went through so many videos to see how it runs through a real amp and not just a powered cab. 🤗

    Thanks for the video. I’m still slightly confused just because the terminology. I have a fender deluxe amp with preamp out and power amp in. Will that work using this method?

    I have a Diezel Herbert (mk2) which is MIDI controllable (the channels and functions). Can the tone master pro control my amp within a preset if I choose to do so etc? I’d like to use 4cm whereby I have effects either in front of the amp or in the FX loop, and also run some models in the clean channel. But would still like to use the Herbert’s crunch channel generally and use the TMPs effects in the loop as if they were on a rack tray etc. many thanks Essentially, I’m trying to get rid of my pedalboard with 4cm and having a separate switcher for the amp, replace with this one single system that does it all

    The TMP has some MIDI options but I haven't gotten into all that yet. I would read up on the manual for more information.

    Preamp Out is your Send and Power amp In is your Return. Same connections.

    hey good video, but I have an issue. I am doing this 4CM with my Mesa Badlander, and when I add the FX loop and enable it, the volume goes drastically down. Not sure what is wrong.

    Is there an fx loop level on the back of the amp?

    I am running a 4cm with my Mesa Badlander, and i added the fx loop 3 block, with the fx block bypassed, perfect amp sound from the real amp, but when fx is on the volume goes down drastically! Clues? I already changed the loops, reinstalled firmaware, changed all the parameters I could and same thing. Is this a defective unit ?

    Thank you for your video. I was hoping you could help me with an issue: The volume coming from the Tone Master Loop is about 10% of the amp volume. I went to the preset settings and raised the volume there but it didn't help. Any thoughts? Thanks,

    When you bypass the FX Loop block you are breaking the 4CM connection and sending the output straight to the FX Return on the amp.

    When using 4cm shouldn’t the amp only model be after the effects loop on the TMP therefor bypassing the preamp of the real and only using the power section of the real amp?

  • @DoctorMcFarlandStudios

    If are the using the amp model and turning off the FX Loop 3 ( in my example) then all the blocks are going to the FX return anyways so the placement of the amp model before or after the FX Loop 3 block doesn't matter. When not using the amp model that block is bypassed so you will only be using the real amps preamp and any channel switching it may have.
