I've been a member of Audiokarma for a few years now and a topic that I see come up fairly often is "How do I connect my EQ, expander, reverb unit and tape machine to my preamp?".
As with all things there are different ways to accomplish this. I've created this post in the hopes of trying to provide some guidance and to generate some discussion with regard to the pros and cons to different methods. Since I spend most of my time in the Pioneer forum, I've chosen to post this here.
I have attached a connection diagram for your consideration.
An example of the pros/cons issue would be:
- In Option 1, your source signal is always routed through your tape device but operating your tape device is simpler.
- In option 2, tape device operation is more complicated but your source signal is traveling through fewer devices.
