What exactly is the difference?
Some amps (like the GS-1) have both, whereas other (MAD Ear++ comes to mind) have only preamp outs.
From what I've been able to put together, loop/tape outs send out the exact same signal that the amp receives.
So I figure that preamp outs must do something to the signal, but I haven't got any clue what that something might be.
Of course, the reason I'm asking this is to figure out just what I'd do with an amp that had preamp--but not loop--outs.
