Stuff you wanted to know but were afraid to ask

Can effect loops be randomly inserted in existing circuits?

Like after the wet signal of a delay, between gain stages, between the gain and the tone section, and so forth? Are there rules for this, or articles going deeper into such modifications?

Randomly, yes. Blindly, not always.

Yeah, I was audio probing a circuit and sometimes you got these in between stages that make me wonder about how to feed something else in at that point instead of simply before or after the pedal.

I suppose simply inserting audio in thr signal line and see what happens can't hurt a thing? Just never tried it...

That may not be enough. You may need some extra buffering either on send or return or both.

Mostly harmless, but careful with bbd inputs. Don't want them too hot.
