I don't know, if I was new to something and had an idea that I thought would work, and someone that's been doing just that kind of thing for 20-30 years tells me 'they don't work well' I'd wager they probably have a reason for that. I think I also followed on this thread several other people sugges...

Damn, what's wrong with this guy? He's got some serious issues :shock: Reeltarded has spent tons of time on this forum helping people understand things... I don't think you're paying attention to what he's saying and dismissing him. This might be why he's no longer paying attention to you. You're a...

Damn, what's wrong with this guy? He's got some serious issues

here is a Cameron Atomica in stereo with a Rockcrusher as load But isn't a Load Box something you use if you're not going to hook up the amp to a speaker cabinet? I do have a cabinet... And I plan to use it... I need something that will split the signal after the Speaker Output bringing one of thos...

There’s one big consideration in doing this and that’s how the phase may change between the two input signals if one of them is going thru a different numbed of gain stages then the other. You might end up with the tone being like that of a Strat in the out of phase middle pickup position. Sure, bu...

I'm confused, are you pissed off because I'm asking a question you can't answer or because you don't like the question?

Looks like you'll need to bypass the switching built into the line in jack that disconnects the preamp signal when you plug into the line in. How can it do that? I mean, in normal use of an amp with an FX-Loop you plug your guitar into the front (preamp) and then run a loop out through your wet eff...

If it works I could hook up a volume pedal to the dry signals going into the preamps to control the amount of signal If I want. And I could even place distortion/overdrive pedals there to shape the type of distortion in order to compliment the distortion in my main amp (the dry amp). Many people use...

Hello! Would it be possible to run a signal with wet effects into the FX-Return of an amp while simultaneously running a clean, dry (isolated) signal straight into the front of the amp and through the dirty channel of its preamp? Can an amp handle two different signals at the same time and basicall...

hughes_and_kettner_vortex.pdf It might be possible. Weird stuff might happen in the power section though. If you want a better answer than that you'll need to, at a minimum, say which amp you're asking about. If it's an obscure amp posting a schematic will get even better replies. I've attached the...

Using an fx loop will certainly work, no one’s saying it won’t. But if your dry amp power amp is adding to the tone more than negligibly (eg presence control at a non minimum setting) the signal at the fx send won’t be the full picture. Yes, I've asked around and there seem to be quite a number of ...

Ok, so I managed to find the episode where Dan & Mick adress the whole "proper W/D/W" vs their own version which they call "TPS W/D/W". First they demonstrate the "proper" way to do it and at 10:20 Dan talks briefly about the possibility of running the signal out through the Speaker Out into some fo...

Hello! I'm building a W/D/W rig and right now I'm trying to work out the whole isolation issue with using 3 amps. All along this project I've heard I need to isolate 2 of the amps by running the audio cables through some kind of isolation box/boxes before connecting them to the amps inputs. However,...

The fx aren’t in all 3 amps. The Marshall is dry, no delays or detunes etc, just generates awesome tones. Ok, but Reeltarded said a few posts up: Yes, all three amps have access to delays, modulation, and reverbs because of the auxes provided by a mixer. This is how a Bradshaw rig works. I'm slight...
