Can I have one amp with effects (wet) and one without (dry)?
I love two amp setups. So many great tonal possibilities open up. One really cool setup is to use one amp dry, and one amp wet.
Have a look at the signal path diagram below, and then I'll talk you through this setup. |
| | | | | Here we are using a HumDinger as split point in the signal chain. What does that mean? Let's follow the signal path.
Your guitar signal enters in the right hand side and travels through the first set of loops 1~6 which is where all my Compressors, OD's, Distortions and fuzz's are. These effects I want going to both amps.
The signal then goes out of the send of loop 7 to the input of the HumDinger. Here the signal is split. The Buffered output is sent back to the return of loop 7, and the isolated output is sent to the input of 'Amp 1'. This amp will now receive my OD pedals only. What's more, seeing as we've used the isolated output of the HumDinger, there will be no earth/ground loops with this amp.
You can of course use the HumDinger in any effect loop, we're just using no.7 for this example.
The other side of the signal is sent back to the return of loop 7, then carries on to the modulation (chorus, flanger etc) and delay effects. Then out of output one to the input of the second amp. This amp will now receive the tone from your OD pedals AND your modulation and delay effects.
If I select any of the loops 1~6 on any preset, they will go to both amps, but any effects in loops 8~10 will go to the second amp only. The split signal ensures that only one amp receives the mod and delay effects, and there you have a Wet/Dry setup
Don't forget, you need to include loop 7 on any preset that you wish to use both amps on.
