I have my XTC running through a 4x12 with 2ea 2x12 cabs on either side of it that are being fed from my Quad Cortex./Fryette LXII with delay. Would that be considered wet/dry/wet?

Yes. ideally if your XTC is dry (no fx) through the 4x12 and your 2x12’s are wet (100% fx). Some people run some dry in their wet cabs as well but the consensus seems to be that the wet cabs sounds best running 100% wet.

Thanks....I just know it sounds epic....seems like a lot of vids I watch on it make it seem like a pretty complicated set up. Mine is rather simple.

it can be as simple or complicated as you want to make it but yes, it sounds huge no matter what. Enjoy!

Depends on if someone is soaking your vintage 30's in Fiji water when you're not around. Keep your friends close and your Vintage 30's closer.

W/D/W as it eventually became, that is with zero dry in the wet cabs, is often fairly simple. It doesn´t lend itself very well to the cascading series-parallel FX units of the big stereo rigs, since the routing becomes a big headache without the dry signal coming out at the end and you end up feeding FX only with FX. All the huge pro W/D/W rigs from the very late 80s and 90s had dry in the wet cabs; EVH, Lukather, Landau and so on. They just stuck a dry cab to their existing stereo rigs and called it a day. This would be refined later when the demand for that FX-heavy sound lessened.

Good advice. The last thing you want is a WW/D/WW rig. You'll literally be dripping in tone (but not in a good way).
Such rigs are generally considered an anomaly though (see what I did there?).
