Using an Amp as a "Pedalboard"?

Combo bass amps and slaving

Hey Jazzbass19, I’m no expert, let’s get that out of the way…so if the ‘Gain" is the level control of the slave amp’s preamp section, then yes, I believe so…if the input to the slave is the FX return, and NOT the slave amp’s Input jack, then we circumvent the slave amp’s preamp section…more modern amps - with FX loops or ‘send’ and return’ for effects, allow this relatively easily, whereas if the amp is older and lacks the FX loop, it gets more complicated…I found this article from Seymour Dunc…

I personally don’t see why you want to use an other amp if you can use the DG PA. But you can read a lot of info about slaving in that thread.
