Having suffered ringing in my ears for at least 24 hours after gigs and rehearsal sessions I decided to try a few different low cost ear protection products. So far I've tried Loop (£25) - 17 to 20db reduction; Flare Isolate (£25) - 30db certified protection; HearProtek (£15) - 23db Noise reduction; Earasers (£42)- 26db reduction and ACS pacato 16s (£15) - 16db reduction. The only criterion was, play a gig or do a rehearsal and then assess the ringing in my ears. The winner out of all of them by a reasonable margin was loop. Any experience of others?

I’m playing a gig for my music school and can’t use my own amp, I have to use a Katana Artist. I use a tonemaster pro pedal and would like to connect it using the Katana fx loop. Unfortunately the loop isn’t open, how do I open it? (I’ve tried putting the tonemaster through the input, disabling the amp/cab sim and using the clean channel on the artist, this works but the sound isn’t too good and was hoping the fx loop would be better.
I’ve got Katana Librarian on my phone.
