you have to use an a/b box setup to use both amps at the same time.

That'll be why it's dead now then. It was only a practice amp anyway, I'm surprised it lasted 5 years!

the signal goes


guitar>sd-1>tu-2split >Holy Stain>Marshall
split>Fender

your best using something with dual outputs to split to two amps. your best bet would be your DD-3, has a direct out and a main out.

Yeah, I'll do that if I wanna try it again. The DD3's sounding really good now! I had some problems with it farting out a bit ago, but now I've got a decent power supply for it it works perfectly :D

using a DD-3 as a splitter means the wet signal only goes to one of the amps, the other stays completely dry. it's not ideal for all applications.

i've started using my TU-2 as my signal splitter, i realised i didn't need that giant 3 way box on my board.

my favorite way to do this is using a panning pedal. Then not only can you go between the amps, but you can blend the signal to each to have more of one amps sound on certain songs and more of another on the other setting. I sis this with a tiny terror and a super reverb at one point years ago and it was pretty cool sounding.

Nah, that alone wouldn't kill an amp- a line out would be a similar level signal as the guitar itself.

not had any bother with it so far. my setup's never completely silent anyway, what with the single coils and all, but i don't get enough noise to cause any problems.

did you use the line out of the first amp, or the speaker out?

Could have been the speaker out actually, would that have done it? It's no big deal anyway, I was just wondering.

probably. That would have been a loaded signal into the front end of the amp.

Wow. my modest rig is fillling out, I've DREAMT of a full pedalboard for years. it feels good. I love pedals.

Do you guys think a Korg DT-10 will save my high end with its buffer? Right now my cleantone sounds like the tone is rolled off.... Anywho:

Image

So I just made an account on HC just for their pedalboard thread and quick responses on the order of my pedals and the classifies...

I mentioned I frequent SS only..


They said 'that pedalboard has shortscale written all over it.. wtf?

actually its probably because you have got a pretty nice board going there, but to a lot of people on HC if your board isnt full of eventide, pigtronix, and diamond pedals and tube screamers as well then GET OUT.

I mean look at this bastard.

No way that hiwatt stays clean enough for all those pedals.
