![]() ![]() ![]() SLO DI -> Rocktron Reflifex -> Rocktron Intellifex -> Rocktron Velocity 300 -> Marshall 4x12 I'd like some time-based effects and while I don't think the loop is as dire as many claim, it's still weak enough that I don't want to use it. This the straight-forward rig that I've used for nearly 20 years. OD pedal -> flanger pedal -> rack volume -> rack wah -> SLO -> Marshall 4x12 I'm using a Voodoo Labs GCX to pull things in/out as needed, and eventually plan to integrate the channel switching, but haven't tried that yet. What I have going right now is the following: First, this amp doesn't need a lot of effects and I definitely do not want to muddy up things with too much extra. Rig #1: Soldano SLO into a couple of Marshall 4x12's. I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to manage it without getting too carried away with new/additional gear. I really have two amps I'm thinking about building stereo-type rigs around at home. I'll be looking forward to the future conversations and I'll post those pics and diagrams as soon as I can. There are more than a few members of that forum that are here now and just might chime in with something none of us had ever thought of before. So much of what I learned about racks and W/D/W rigs, I learned from the Huge Racks, Inc fourm (which is no defunct unfortunately). PM is fine with me, but if someone else could learn from this, I wouldn't mind using threads, either. I can provide some info on that one, too.įinally, I'd be more than happy to help you set up your rig. I'm working on another one now that will be much more similar to mhenson42's rig than the one I described above. However, the concept can easily be scaled down to accomodate much more simple rigs. I'll admit, this is a fairly complex rig with pedals before and two tiers of effects after. I'm sure pictures and diagrams will help. I prefer to run each side of the 395 into its own cabinet, but I've used it running into one stereo cabinet (W/W or W/D works better that way, W/D/W, not so much).Īnyway, I hope this makes at least a little sense. Rane SM26 Mixer #2 Out > Mesa Boogie Switch-Track 395 > 2 or more cabs The other two channels I have configured as line balancers so I can feed the H3000 and GTR4000 with a balanced signal (that what they're designed to use). The Eventide and Lexicon are connected to channels 3-6. ![]() As above, this allows spill-over from these effects.Īs above, if I want dry signal, I'll activate the pass-through loops (9-10 in channels 1-2). The third loop (11) feeds an Eventide Eclipse and the fourth loop (12) feeds a Lexicon PCM92. Since this is now a stereo signal, the first two loops (9-10) are just sent to the second mixer so I can pass the dry/effect signal on. I don't have anything in the returns to these loops, either. Rane SM26 Mixer #1 Stereo Out > RJM Effects Gizmo Loops 9-12Īs with loop 5-8, I only run the sends and pass the signal along to the next loops. If I want dry signal in the wet cabs (I almost always do), I can turn the TERC on and activate its bypass. I run stereo outs from each of the effects into the 8 inputs of the mixer. This allows any tails from delays or reverbs to spill-over.Įffects Outs > Rane SM26 Mixer #1 In 1-8 I don't use the returns here, so the original signal passes to all four sends and the sends are activated by the loops. Only the sends from the RJM loops are connected. Previously, this has been a Yamaha SPX-90, Fulltone TERC (also used to pass dry signal when it bypass), an Eventide H3000DSE, and an Eventide GTR4000 (with the standard DSP4000 presets card). I use each loop to switch the send to a different processor. For W/D/W, the amp is connected directly to its own cabinet(s) (and possibly a DI, as above).Īmp Line Out > RJM Effects Gizmo Loops 5-8 In Nothing is returned to the amp, in either case. Mesa Boogie Studio Pre is my favorite, but I've used several. If I just need a W/W rig, I'll use a pre-amp instead of an amp. If it doesn't have either, I'll use a DI to pull a line out between the amp and the speaker. If it has a compensated out, I'll use that or the effects send for the amp's output. RJM Effects Gizmo Loops 1-4 Out > Amp Inįor W/D/W, I'll use whatever amp I'm currently using. These are all analog and I think they sound best in front of the amp. The first four loops are used for a booster, vibe, flanger, and phaser. Finally, I'm in the process of replacing some components, so this is, once again, a work in progress. I've got one of those, too, and will send it along in a few days, too. Like mhenson42, I think the signal flow diagram helps understand it better than pictures because it shows where the wires are connected better than cables that may be hard to trace from just a picture. I'd be happy to post some pics of mine, too, but I'm out of town for a few days and don't have them (or the rig) with me. ![]()
