Hi I have decided to make up a pedal board consisting of a boss GT 1 a boss FS 7 switch and a Ammon looper pedal the problem I have is when I loop on clean then change to lead it changes the sound to lead the looper is last in the chain my amp has no got a send effects on the back of it how do I get over this problem

are you switching to the lead channel on your amp?
if so - you would need to stay on the clean channel, and get your dirt/drive from the Boss unit.

Hi I am switching to lead on the boss GT 1 I am only playing through a little Roland practice amp

That's strange. If you're changing the tones in the GT1 and the looper is placed after it, it shouldn't affect the sound in the looper.

Just to make sure, is your signal chain guitar -> GT1 -> looper -> clean amp?

Or is it possible that the amp is being overdriven so hard that even the clean tones are breaking up?

Does it do this same thing at lower-than-TV volumes?


Edit - sheesh auto correct fail corrected

I was thinking this too - some little practice amps just don't have the headroom to handle a loop and something else on top of it. It's usually pretty easy to differentiate between that sound and a "lead sound", though.
