Probably a question for Dr. Z himself via email, but I figure if someone has tried this they will chime in.
Has anyone ever installed one of these in a Ray? I've been hemming and hawwing about finding a dumbleator clone that will work, but I don't really want the smoothing effect they are known to add to the preamp signal. I've been using a Suhr Isoboost just barely pushing an Xotic X-Blender to bring my delays back in parallel and it sounds pretty decent. But if this things sounds as neutral as I've heard then I'd like to try it.
The thing is, the types of amps I've seen these used in are Marshall-type amps. I tried the Friedman Dirty Shirley (5881 loaded JTM with more preamp gain) with just a Carbon Copy and it sounded great with this loop. Is the design of the Stang Ray (or even a Matchless or a Morgan) one that would lend itself to something like this?
I've tried running time based effects in front of this amp. With and without a blender, just doesn't work for me at all.

Hi drc, I don't use the effects loop on the Stangray so I can't help there but you can try posting this question in the 'Ask the Experts' "Amp Questions/Troubleshooting" forum page. I think the effects loop in the Stangray is a passive in/out type loop but I'm not sure, the Ask the Experts forum could in the least provide you with that type of info.

Thanks for the feedback Drew. I just sent an email to Dr.Z directly. Hopefully, this is something that will work well with the Stang Ray.
