Transparent. High-Voltage. Tone-Preserving.
Unlike many effects loops that compromise dynamics or introduce unwanted artifacts, the Black Coffee Effects Loop maintains your amp’s touch sensitivity, response, and harmonic richness. Whether you’re running pristine cleans or crushing distortion, your tone remains 100% intact—just with the added versatility of an effects loop.
Why a High-Voltage Effects Loop?
Most effects loops run at low voltage, causing signal degradation, tone loss, or unwanted impedance mismatches. The Black Coffee Effects Loop avoids these pitfalls by operating at the same high voltages as your amp’s tube circuitry. This ensures:
- No signal coloration – Your amp’s original tone remains pure.
- Uncompromised headroom – Handles hot preamp signals without distortion.
- Tube-like response – Maintains the amp’s natural feel, harmonics, and dynamics.
- Optimized for pedals & rack gear – Works seamlessly with time-based effects like reverb, delay, and modulation.
Key Features:
- MOSFET-Based Transparency – The carefully selected MOSFETs provide a clean and ultra-low-distortion signal path.
- High-Voltage Operation (250V – 400V) – Matches your amp’s tube circuit for a completely transparent response.
- Series or Parallel Configuration – Adapt the loop to your specific needs.
- Optimized Send & Return Levels – Designed to work with both pedal and rack-mounted effects.
- Minimal Invasiveness – Requires no major modifications to most tube amp circuits.
- Reliable, Quiet Performance – No unwanted hum, hiss, or loss of signal clarity.
Who Is This For?
The Black Coffee Effects Loop is ideal for:
- Gigging musicians who need a studio-quality effects loop in their live rig.
- Tone purists who want an effects loop without compromising their amp’s character.
- Amp modders & builders looking for a high-quality, high-voltage loop solution.
Installation & Compatibility
This effects loop requires professional installation by a qualified tube amplifier technician. It is designed to be compatible with most tube amplifiers but should be evaluated for suitability before installation.
