ok,, i added an effects loop and it works fine but how i have it wired it only works through the master volume channel.the tone/volume channel is dry.... i want the effects loop to send signal to both channels.... i currently have tapped the signal (in) at the treble pot center lug. (removed original wire that went to third lug of MV pot) and the signal return for loop goes from that third lug of MV to out of effects loop.... how can i wire it so it puts loop effects through both channels ?? thanks !!

This amp uses a weird channel mixing scheme. Every other amp that I'm familiar with mixes the two channels before the phase inverter. I don't know how you would do this on this amp.

i bridge the two channels together and just have to always be using a bit of the MV channel.... it sounds good though,,,,

As Morgan pointed out, because the two channels are separate, it's difficult to add a "global" effects loop. You'd need to modify the amp so that the two channels go into a single input of the phase inverter. These are uncharted waters, so I can't tell you anything with 100% certainty, but I'd try pulling C5 and connect the center lug of V1 normal volume pot to the center lug of V5 treble pot. This will make the master volume control the volume of the normal channel as well. It will be redundant with the normal channel volume, so don't expect the normal channel volume to be more of a "gain" control.

If this works, you can then use the standard "send" from the treb pot and "return" to the master volume.

You could also try connect C5 to R23. This would make the TMB and master volume global....more like a JTM.
