Cutting the signal for a fxloop question

Hi, i have a ceriatone Straycat and i would like to add a unbuffered FX loop. But i can't find where to cut the signal in the chain. I have made it in a orange amplifier and it was very easy to find the best spot to cut the signal and it worked well. Here is the Schematic, if someone could help me, it would be much appreciated...

Frank,
Unbuffered Effects Loops have problems BUT if you are aware of those problems and want to go ahead anyway then =>

You want the loop after the preamp and before the Master control. See that 220K resistor from the treble control wiper to the top of the master control (right hand side tab on master pot)? Disconnect the 220K from that RHS tab on the Master pot and put your loop in there.

Cheers,
Ian

Really? I would never find it. i really don't understand how this amp work... Ive understand several simpler amp, but this one... no. I know for the unbufered fx loop problem, i will use a external buffer, thank you for your quick reply, it is much appreciated :)
