Seeking Advice with a stacked pedal chain

[sst4270]

Hello, (I hope this is the right place to ask this question)

I have a question regarding a large stacked pedal I'm building... Picture's worth a 1,000 words.
Stacked pedals into a power amp all inside the same housing.
Buffer Input>Preamp>OD>OD>Reverb> ??Loop?? > Power amp.
My question is: I'd like to add a loop between the reverb and the power amp for optional/additional time based effects. i.e. delay, flanger, etc.
Can someone suggest the best way to do this?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank-you,

Steve

Here’s basically what you want to do:


When nothing is plugged in, the reverb out goes to the power amp. The signal to the send jack also goes to the switched tip of the return jack. When you plug a cable into the return jack, it disconnects the tip from the send, so that you get the signal from your external device

EDIT: ground the jacks too.

jcpst,

Understood. Simple enough.
So no buffer needed/necessary/recommended on the return side?

Not strictly required, but it might not be a bad idea. I’d say if needed. If you’re doing a long cable run, or you notice there’s some high-end loss, a buffer might be good.
