Effects in instrument line

Contributor Since: Sep 09, 2002

Can I insert my dbx 266xl compressor in my instrument signal before the preamp? what i mean is, is it safe to insert it like this:

bass guitar > compressor > bass amp or mixer pre amp etc

can i hurt it like this, or will it cause any problems? i don't know if there's any difference between line level signals and instruemnt signals :Os thanks -j

Well, that is not how it's supposed to be used, but I didn't learn that myself until after I had done it for a few months, and it didn't hurt anything...
