@ryanspencerlauderdale6875 жыл бұрын
Most proper ABY pedals these days have a ground lift switch that isolates the amps and a 180 degree switch that corrects the phase. As far as cable routing, it is really personal preference, depending on what effects you want going to either of the amps. If you want everything to go to both amps, have your ABY at the end of your pedalboard. Otherwise, it depends on taste as long as you have amps that don't hum, and the bass in both amps is corrected {phase}.

I recently stumbled across using two amps. I have a 1965 champ. The champ didn't have reverb, so I bought a neunaber (stereo) reverb pedal. Soon after, I ended up buying a new tonemaster deluxe. Loved both, but they sound different. Decided to split the signal from the reverb pedal to both amps to see how some of the different effects worked in stereo. Sounded so good, I cant go without it.

I did the 2 wet amps stereo and one dry at my last recording session and it was incredible. Only I really saturated the 2 stereo wets and used a Keeley Caverns plus a Boss Tera Echo and got the amps pretty loud inside a decent sized drum room. Sounded amazeballs!! Like a jet engine inside a whirlwind. Turned out killer on recording. A Fender Twin Stereo left wet, a Fender Deluxe Reverb Stereo right wet both overdriven, and a VHT Pitbull middle dry clean. I was happy I had watched this video before the session and it gave me the idea.

I use a wet dry wet set up with a Vox on the right, a Fender on the left and and Orange in the centre. I use two Palmer isolation boxes on the left and right to eliminate hum. The sound is massive. I split after the drive and compression and left and right are output through modulation effects and a stereo Boss Harmonist. Each stereo amp has its own delay producing one delay each at different times.

MY Digitech pedal has stereo outputs. I run one cable to a basic Marshall amp set to "clean". (Effects from the Digitech are kept to a minimum, because those effects will be further modified when they reach my other amp.) The other cable runs to a volume pedal, then to a Fender Mustang, which offers various effects and "amplifier replicators". Sounds great when I choose Fender effects that complement the Digitech effects I have chosen. The volume pedal lets me fade or boost the Fender to easily change the overall amount of effects.

Just two amps? Try this set up that I'll be hooking up this weekend: Feed an MXR EchoPlex preamp into a Radial Bigshot ABY to boost the signal. The two outputs of the ABY go into an MXR Stereo Chorus and an EHX SYNTH9 synthesizer pedal. Each of these pedals has dual outputs which go to a Vox AC15, Orange Micro Terror w/Marshall 4x12, Vox VT20X (modified to drive a Marshall 4x12) and a Fender Rumble 25 bass amp for the "wet" synthesizer output. You can't have a proper wall of sound without a wall of amps.

Something to think about regarding phase though is that some pedals will naturally invert it. Gain pedals with an odd amount of gain stages will do this as well as many delays, comps, phasers, vibes, trems, flangers, modulation, looper etc. A pedal which could auto adjust the phase inversion would be cool so that you don't need to think about it

Hi Armandio. Yes, it's often inconvenient but I don't believe its is about convenience or we'd all be playing pods. This sort of rig can be really inspiring, and I believe that is a fundamental. Yes, it needs to appropriate for the venue, but a dual amp rug doesn't have to be huge. The sound is working for you at the end of the day, so asking him to set up a second mic shouldn't be a big deal. I've performed with this sort of a rig in litterally thousands of venues and I've only ever had one sound guy who couldn't do it and that was because he ran out of channels on the desk. But my sound inspires me, after playing professionally for over 25 years I still get excited about playing live primarily for this reason. It's the reason guitarists have struggled up stairs with Marshall stacks for decades, the reason we agonise over what pedals are on our board, the type of pick we use, because our sound is important to us, in some ways it identifies us. So to me, it's definitely worth a little extra hassle :)

I liked the very recent video you did with the Wetter box and Wet/Dry. I would really, really love to see a very elaborate explanation of the best types of wet/dry setups you've found. It seems like you have clean, dry, and wet factors at play as well as tonal compliments. With the wetter box the way you recently did it, you have the clean and dry blended as well as the wet into two amps that compliment each other. I thought that was a neat way to get everything you need from two amps unless you're someone wanting stereo and cleans in the middle which is not me... 3-5 amps seems to be too much at that point. It seems like you get into philosophy, approach, technicalities, and execution on a lot of topics but haven't ever really done an hour or hour and half long video walking us through from start to finish on wet dry in a very complete fashion. I've definitely definitely learned from the videos you've put up about it, but I feel like this is a subject TPS should still set out to crush one day.

Noah Tillery asked about deluxe reverb / vox in stereo; which I thought would be cool. I tried to reply to Noah; but was unable to do so. Yes - you can do this (I did) and of course it works. I preferred using 2 Deluxes instead; after all they are still rated as the best blues amp and I agree. Of course one can mix / match one's preferred amps! For example - some prefer chime and some prefer sparkle etc of course. Some (Including myself) prefer being able to get those Fender Clean tones. This being said, I have a stereo IO Flashback at the end of the chain and very simply plug the 2 outputs into the 2 amps. Very simple and works excellently. (Stereo Chorus etc into the stereo IO flashback is a very sweet option too BTW) No loops - just old school simplicity. Using 2 Super Champs with different voicings ROCKS too. What is wrong with doing this simple and old school? Maybe I am missing something here. Notably the Deluxes (and champs etc) handle pedals well straight into them. Phase is of course not an issue when using 2 of the same amps. A Radial Big Shot may help with phase diagnosis if needed for non matching amps. This setup works excellently for me! It is so nice I do not want to do singletons at all any more, ever. I find it tonally superior in every way. One "extra" amp and one "extra" cable. How is this too difficult / time consuming / not worth it? Options? Add a center channel for extra goodness. (Thanks Daniel and Mick!) What ever gets you the tone you like - it's all good! I'm just contributing different simpler options here that also work. "That Pedal Show" Rocks!

Thank you, Dan and Mick so much for these segments. You'll probably never know just how useful they are for guys like me. I must have watched this particular video a dozen times and finally decided to give it a go. Months ago, a buddy of mine built me a pretty faithful clone of late 70s Marshall JMP 2204 and after viewing this and other videos, coupled it with a Vox AC15. I also bought a JHS Angry Charlie and found out why you and Andy Timmons love it so much. To top it all off, I bought your HumDinger pedal(what a god send) and routed everything through my Voodoo Labs switching system for a wet/dry setup. My tone has never been bigger. The best part of it all is really understanding how it all works, interacts with itself and applying that knowledge to my live rig. I've never been happier with my tone, but I do have one question in regards to setting up the gain structure for the Vox. Are you, in the video, using the normal input or the top boost input to get you based tone for the Vox and how do you prefer the relationship(as Mick puts it) between the volume tone cut/controls and the master volume?
@TheGigRigDaniel9 жыл бұрын

So I have a unique bit of kit... a Bedrock 4x12 cabinet. This cab is actually two separately wired 2x12's in one box. I'm currently running a 50w HiWatt clone I built myself, with both outputs from the amp plugged into each pair of speakers. (you guys always talk Fender, Marshall, Vox but never HiWatt as an archetype) My question is, can I build another differently voiced head and run it in the same cab as the HiWatt? How much more careful would I have to be with phase? How do you deal with phase without a big elaborate control board like yours? My pedal toolkit is actually quite simple. Wah, MXR Phase 90, Strymon El Capistan. Les Paul I built with a phase switch into the HiWatt clone. Eventually I could build two different 5w~10w heads for the same cab for smaller work if it was possible at all. Speaking of multi amp setups, have you ever been able to decipher how Jimmy Page runs those four half stacks? That would be an interesting analysis.

Great video!! Please do another video on technical aspects of setting up the rig for multiple amps. If you play two amps in concert without adding power to the signal, i.e., simply splitting the signal via ABY, then doesn't that cut the output power from your guitar in half, i.e., half the current going to each amp? Wouldn't that affect the sound of the amps when playing them alone versus in concert? Yet, wouldn't stacking the "full amplitude" of each amp be potentially really loud? How/ would you account for all that?

Reposting this question again. I ran my 1971 Super Reverb and a Red Plate Blackverb at a recent gig with my Strat. Split the signal at the end of my chain with a Line 6 M9 and it sounded incredible with No Noise and I was cranked. Why would that setup not have phase issues and sound incredible? Any explanation? I thought before I fired them up it would be noisy and out of phase and terrible but it was great. Please let me know. Thanks and I'm a big fan and watch every show!!

What about using it purely to increase headroom and spread the sound, in dual mono, especially on a large stage? Asking as a bassist. Recently had problem where guitar player on far side couldn't hear me well but my volume was already very high. Currently use a MarkBass combo 300/500 with extension cabinet. If I were to get a standalone head for the extension I could run my combo at 300 watts and create a nice surround sound effect on stage. But I haven't seen this precise application explained. I should probably take this to talkbass, but here I am...

Anson Stiles just get a line 6 dl4 and run an output to each amp, then you can do stereo/ping pong delay as well.

also, I understand the importance of phase and isolation. but how do I accomplish both of those. what devices do I use to ensure isolation and phase correction?

Thanks guys, I have heard that many players use multiple amps and this helped me to understand why and how this is done. I didn't quite get how the stereo effects went to the wet amps and you kept the middle dry. Is this a G2 special feature?

Fantastic video. Loved listening to the wet dry wet rig with head phones. If I was using a mic on a AC-30 as a dry tone, but then using a Kemper xlr Left and right for the wet, do I need to worry about phasing? Or would front of house worry about the phasing?

+Ryan Pearsall well, you should make sure your on stage sound is in phase, but if its sounding big and full, you're probably fine

how do orange amps stand up against vox, fender and marshall? specifically the lunchbox amps. which may lead to a second question, could you do a lunchbox amp episode?
@FrankSpeer667 жыл бұрын
great show guys but I am still a bit confused about something. I am using a strymon deco as the last pedal on my board and I was hoping to come from the stereo out into another amplifier for a stereo amp effect. what mechanism do I need to ensure that both amps are in phase and grounded properly and how exactly would I set this up? many thanks in advance for all of your Genius!
