OK Admittedly clueless, School me on Preamps, Mixers, Sound Software

LOL Chasfred. I don't even have a pedal board. I have a few pedals I sometimes hook up though.

A Wah, my Vox Distortion Booster, Dan Echo and Metal Zone pedals. That is it until I get my Tube Screamer fixed.
 
Oh, and you might want to check the output level on the Marshall pre, and see if it corresponds with one of the 3 selections on the loop level switch on the back of The Twin.

This amp obviously does not have an effects loop, so my only guess as to how to run anything with it is thru the hi and low inputs. Here is where I begin to stretch my experiences and understanding of how to dial in sound. Stuff like where to put the various pedals, accessories and components like a preamp in a signal chain.

I know there is no line in line out type thing for running straight into a mixing board etc. In essence, I need to understand all the little possibilities from the bare bones amps to more complicated ones such as my Red Knob The Twin, which has effects loop ( Preamp out, Power Amp iN jacks) A Power Amp THRU Jack, and various speaker arrangement hookup jacks and selector switches.

I would suggest running an attenuator, like the Weber Mass Lite 100, which features a line out for recording. I frequently see attenuators used on old master volume Marshalls (in a studio environment) for just that purpose.
 
Hmmm, As I was hunting replies on the net about my question and my amps, I found this.
In this clip, I hear some things I like and some I don't. His demo has really nice BITE, but it is also very ringy and chimey like too trebly for me. That clean tone is similar to what I get. But I am also running a 300 watt 4x12 not a Greenback/V30 loaded one.

 
Now I was checking out The Gear Page and saw a message about a guy who bought a Fulltone Fuzzface and didn't like how it sounded.

One member posted this clip about his setup. Very nice sounding stuff.

My buddy is always talking about Fuzz faces and Jimi n stuff.

300 watts! Are you welding with that thing :ROFLMAO: When I crank my 100 watt stereo and subwoofer when the wife is not around, I gotta go straighten pictures around the house afterwards. :cool:
