I am seeking forum assistance with stereo configuration & cable routing. Over the years my rig has became increasingly complex, Never have I had a stereo amp till the Syn-2 purchase. Going from a Wet/Dry set up to stereo has humbled me to the point of asking for the forum's assistance.
The major issue I've been experiencing is engaged effects are stepping all over each other, cannot get the panning or level's set correctly on the Boss 500 series pedals, nor can i get the signal to split properly and all sound coming out of the cabs is wet/wet.
I've found with the Synergy rig that the modules really open up nicely when I push the volume, So I've decided to get the torpedo captor X to put into the mix; only to find out from Torpedo that in order to attenuate both left and right I'll need 2 Captor's to do so. At this point most players would 86 and shelf the attenuated stereo idea and go back to a wet/dry set up....However, since I've been there and done that before rig many times before, FAT chance that I'm ready to admit defeat and back out.
So I pulled out the Rane units- the SM26s will split off the synergy/power amp and the sm82s Stereo line mixer to be able to mix the effects and dry signal in parallel, to easily pan the effects left and right and be able to set the level on the fly.
Another conundrum, is whether or not to run the Synergy SYN-2 off a tube amp (Either my Friedman BE-100 or JCM 800). Then run the left and right outputs from the SM82 mixer go to the left and right channels of the Carvin TS-100 power amp, and then the two power amp outputs to the 2x12 left and right cabs.
The final piece of the puzzle is to introduce the Boss ES-8 midi switcher into the chain to be able to control the effects and begin using programmed patches... I also have a Boss MS-3 that I'll leave out of the discussion for now...!!!!! UGH
Attached is link to a worksheet I made of the components...Any input would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to PM or email email me directly at [email protected]
