EQ in the FX loops as a master volume?

[glocker199]

I've seen a few of the aftermarket master volume knobs that plug into the effects loop on a tube amp to control the overall output.

Will using the level control on an EQ pedal inserted into the loop accomplish the same thing?

Yes, of course.

Its (EQ pedal) also one of my favorite ways of adding a solo boost volume to my amps. Sort of like a quasi 3rd channel. Just boost set the level slightly louder than your rhythm level and EQ to taste -usually a bit more upper mids to cut thru for me. One of the reasons I prefer FX loops in my amps. Bob
