The drawback of wdw is found in if you rely on your wet cabs for certain things like tremolo, phase and preset stereo chorus effects, and certain pitch effects, where the middle dry tends to neutralize the fx impact and the rig isn't equipped with a dry mute switch. it manifests itself as a subtle phasing of your dry sound-thin and brittle-and sometimes really hard to detect. It becomes very apparent when you have a headphone/in ears monitoring capability while dialing in effects, just how annoying digital conversion of the analog dry tone can be. The A/D - D/A of your dry tone through any fx in the wet cabs is a tricky one and i have really been focusing recently at eliminating that from my effects/rig. 02Īnd to be fair I've only used it once live when we did an outdoor show in the street other wise I play the single halfstack due to ease of setup and the fact that the WDW takes up a lot of space and sometimes you have none. Its nice when your sound is in stereo and surrounding you like your in water.just my. Mine was quick and dirty and to be honest I've had a lot of other issues in my life so tweaking this hasn't been a priority but it does sound HUGE! So you can do something like mine and see what the potential can be. I see Steve ( Hey Steve!!) has a more complex set up than mine and probably quieter. Was just messing with it all and it is a fun way to add effects. ![]() WDW is more expensive and cumbersome but in your 24x24 basement it sounds great! Now I have the Fryette Power station to attenuate the volume of my main head so I can jam with no ear plugs as I can dial in the wet part of the setup easy peasy. The way it was explained to me years ago was no matter what having an effects loop alters the tone. I am probably going to run an eq before the power amp however to tweak the wet sound somewhat. Line out ->into modulating effects in my case a Boss Flanger which has stereo outs into an Alesis Midiverb then that signal into a Lee Jackson Perfect Connection Power amp into separate 2x12's on either side of the half stack. ![]() Main head dry with no reverb or anything into cabinet Henning Bottle Rocket amp -> Suhr Iso Line Out -> MarkL Dual Stereo Line Mixer (effects connected to the MarkL as per above) -> Matrix GT 800FX power amp -> Left and Right Henning 4 x 12 cabs w/30th Anniversary G12H30sĪny questions, fire away and I'll answer them if I can. So the rig is Guitar - pedal board - Henning Bottle Rocket amp -> Center Henning 4 x 12 w/30th Anniversary G12H30s If you are running W/D/W, I highly recommend a mixer of some kind - it is a noticeable improvement for not that much money. The MarkL unit cost me about $350 or so, which IMO isn't much for what it does and the significant improvement in the sound. The mix of the effects and the dry signal is much more discernable and the dry signal is much clearer and present in the wet cabinets. I really didn't think a mixer would make THAT much of a difference, but it really does. I would need two El Caps to make it work right in Mix 2 even though it is stereo out.īOTTOM LINE IF YOU DON"T LIKE READING ALL THIS - I've been running it with just the El Cap, or just the two SDE3000s w/modulation, or with the PitchFactor (micropitchshift) and the two SDE-3000s w/o modulation and I'm blown away at how much better the rig sounds with the mixer at ANY volume from bedroom to gig. I'd rather have the El Cap in the Mix 2 section, but because it is mono input that wouldn't work - it would only get one side of the pitch shifting effect of the PitchFactor. The PitchFactor and SDE-3000s do, the El Cap does not. dry is via the effects themselves if they have an output control. ![]() The only way to adjust the amount of wet signal vs. It's interesting in that the Mix controls do not set the volume of the effects with reference to the dry signal, which is intuitively what I thought they would do. The Mix 2 control sets the output of the combined signals to your power amp. In other words, you set it so that you are getting a proper signal to your Mix 2 effects without overloading them. The Mix 1 control sets the level of the summed Mix 1 wet and dry signal. I had to completely re-wire my rack, so I made custom size GeorgeL cables to use throughout, which really cleaned up the rack a lot. ![]() Dry signal is present and mixed in both stages. I put my Eventide PitchFactor and Strymon El Capistan in the first stage, feeding two mono Roland SDE-3000s in the second stage (250ms L/500ms R with a few repeats). With this unit, you basically have two stages of effects with the first stage (and dry signal) being fed into the second stage. I use a mixer - the MarkL Dual Stereo Line Mixer. ![]()
