Help me setup my rig

Post by War Admiral » Tue Jun 19, 2007 3:50 pm

I would like to have some kind of stereo or dry\wet rig. I'm trying to figure out the best way to plug it in.
This is what I have:
David Bray 1987x w\loop -10 and +4 levels
'79 Marshall 50 watt MV w\loop
2 4X12 cabinets
Morely wha
Boss GE-10 EQ
Keeley modded 5 star SD-1
MXR Phase 90
Boss delay\pitchshifter
Boss DD-20

I've been tinkering but would like more suggestions for the best setup and signal chain. More details the better. Thanks.

I am probably not the best person but I am here so will give my 2cents.

Guitar->wah->SD1->EQ->(line switcher/ABY box)

Line1->most toneful amp (/Bray->4x12)

Line2->phase90->delay->pitch shifter->DD20->No2 amp->No2 cab

I use similar set up keeping wah distortion close to guitar and modulation effect last. Depends how good your effects loop is really. You could put the delay/modulation stuff in there with line switcher instead?

I can't justify two amps/cabs on stage so use my straight through to Ch2 on my amp (for the 'thickener' with both channels on) and the effects to Ch1 as it attenuates some of the slightly spiky highs with a 50 watter using bright cap. I do use a PPIMV to get in the zone for volumes with typically 7 on Ch1 and 5 on Ch2. I use my hotplate as a line out to the mixing desk, occasionally 1 click down.

More ideas please, I think this is a good question :lol:
