Boss VF-1 Effect Processor

I'm looking at getting one of these to run in my series loop for my amp.  Can i bypass the 
preamp for just FX.  Also is it fairly transparent and won't destroy my tone?

Thanks

I have used the VF-1 successfully as you describe. In the series effects
loop, I had to tweak to get the compressor/limiter to function properly due
to the levels. I used it with a Rivera M100, M60 and an Egnater TOL-100. If
you bypass the amp models and eq, the tone is transparent.

 

It may seem a waste of the TOL preamp, but I would encourage you to
experiment with the VF-1 amp models and effects by running your guitar into
the VF-1 front panel input and then the mono output of the VF-1 into your
series loop return. I always ended up using it this way and liked the result
better.
