This is a kit form of the "Best All-Tube Effects Loop" from TUT, offering series or parallel operation, 'send' and 'return' level controls and jacks, and transparent mixing. The 'send' is buffered, eliminating problems with long cables to your effects. The return input has enough gain to support pedals used in the loop even if the loop is inserted in a high-level signal point in your system. Everything is quiet enough that the loop can be used at the front end of your guitar rig, too. Any 12A_7 can be used. Circuit-card (eyelet board) layouts are included for both internal and external tube mounting.

The BFX can be used with the ERK to be a switchable loop, or as a switched-gain boost, following the guidelines in TUT5. The BFX + ERK can be used as a stand-alone effects controller powered from a 13VA supply.

Typical system location for the BFX effects loop would be between the GPK Guitar Preamp Kit and the power amplifier. If reverb is incorporated, then the BFX should precede the reverb.
