Robert......if you have this gear in a rack box....this is how you hook it up. Start with your effects unit to the evans pre amp. You will need 4 short patch cords. Send and returns to both units. Send to return and vice versa....Outputs A & B on the back of the evans to the inputs of the power amp.....speaker outputs of the power amp to the speakers. Hope this helps, if not call me and I'll walk you through it. 501-538-3157 cell 225-271-4880 home. HAL

The MPX1 is a "line level" effects unit and will not work or work well with a low level instrument level from your guitar or volume pedal. With the low "instrument level" it will have a poor signal to noise ratio (be noisy).

You need to connect the MPX 1 between the preamp and the power amp. The output of the preamp is "line level" and the output of the MPX 1 is also "line level".

Most all pre-amps have in and out effects jacks, that's where I put my effects units.
