Guitar -> OD -> Wah -> Preamp -> Power Amp -> ROCK!!!!!
help me hook up my gear correctly
Folks,
I tried the net, but nothing I found satisfied my needs
After years and years of running my rack gear in a simple way (in - out - in out - in out), I think now is the time to hook it up the proper way.
can you guys help me ?
my rig:
Triaxis Preamp
Marshall 8008 Power amp
Compressor/Gate DBX 266
Alesis Quadraverb and POD XT (kidney) for FX
Boss Super Overdrive (for leads)
Morley Bad Horsie (wah)
All controlled by a Art X11 midi footswitch (except the wah)
I used to plug it this way: GTR > overdrive > wah > Preamp > Compressor/gate > FX > power amp, but I know the right way should be using the fx loop from the triaxis.
I have a few questions about hooking up and maybe you guys could help me out
1) My gate/compressor have 2 channels, I was thinking of using one channel for clean sounds and the other for dirty sounds - up to now I used only one channel, but since I use lots of gain on my main distorted sound, I set up the gate real tight, so when I switch to a clean sound it cuts off the hell out of the sound. So I'd like to use each channel in a different preset and call it through the midi pedalboard
2) Drive pedal - I like to call it via midi pedal board (I use an ac adapter so it can be "on" all the time) - so when i hit the solo preset it calls the drive also
3) FX - I usually let the POD XT for studying and rehearsals, that's why I have a quadraverb unit in the rig, but since the display is not working properly I'm really thinking of getting rid of it and only use the POD.
Maybe a little confusing - maybe I should call for mark snyder :-D
here's a pic - use your paintbrush skills to hook it up :-D

that's what I've been doing for years but now I want to hook up the right way
but now I want to hook up the right way thanks Kipperfetish
from the Quadraverb I mainly use reverbs, choruses and delays. But since I can't program it anymore (the lcd display died a couple of months ago and I won't pay 100 dollars for a new one), I just disconnected the midi cable and only use only one setting - just some reverb.
That's why I said that I was very inclined in removing the Quadraverb from the rack and only use the POD with the other gear (preamp/power/compressor/gate).
I'm not a guy who have hundreds of presets: distorted rhythm, lead, clean with chorus, clean with delay, lead with delay...and thats about it.
Since I use the POD for rehearsals, quick recordings and studying purposes I already have some patches on it, but they all have amps and cabinets simulations. But I can quickly program a few presets to replace the Quadraverb rack.
So it's basically delay, reverb and chorus. And I only have 1 cabinet (marshall 4x12 1960)
Thanks
