ok i am going to try this a few more questions then I'm done bugging you lol does the quality of the line mixer matter because we all know what behringer can be like will it cause any latency or any tone sucking issues what do you suggest the JM the line switcher and the boss AB switch

No latency, but quality could matter. I'd try your guitar straight in the loop first and see what you think. Then try the chorus or any pedal/eq and see if that works before you spend any cash.

(not sure what JM is)
 
I think I'd go with a Radial A/B box and a fender twin, personally. You can find silverface (late 60s to early 80s) twins locally through craigslist for $550 where I'm at, or spend a few more bucks and get a blackface reissue. BTW, if you go with an A/B box, the Radial is awesome. Avoid at all costs the Morley. It's a tone sucking sonic anchor. The Radial works well.

OP said he wanted this all rack mounted. Which is why I suggested what I did.
 
No connection with the poster, but there is an M-80 on tgp for $100 right now. I saw it earlier.

Didn't read the entire thread, just saw mention of a jazz chorus. Sorry to butt in. Carry on.

More opinions the better :thumbsup:
 
Thank you so much everyone especially shark and mill house I am going to buy that m-80 preamp unfortunely my impatience got to me at gc and i bought the digitech thingy too much programming though it'lll be going back oh well

Shark heres what i'm getting for the "third channel" please let me know if this will all work together and my effects loop is parallell just so your aware i'm putting values up incase they matter

DOD 270 AB BOX ABY SWITCHER PEDAL(39$) or DOCTOR A/B SWITCH (20$)
RJM MUSIC MINI 4CH LINE MIXER(89$) or USED EV ELX1R LINE MIXER 1217 (49$) or Behringer MICROMIX MX400 4-Channel Line Mixer (20$)
and i already messaged the guy about the fender preamp
 
Should work great. Doesn't matter that the loop is parallel since you aren't sending a signal to the Recto input when doing the clean. How good it sounds will depend on the loop, pre, A/B box, and mixer. As long as none of those suck tone you'll be fine. Lots of guys run stuff this way. Try the A/B box first with nothing in the loop (B will have nothing attached) just to see if it sounds the same as when not there. Then if that is good add the mixer in the loop. Check tone. If your Recto tones are unaffected then add the pre. :thumbsup:
 
well since you now have two Preamp signals (the Recto send for your gain, and the M80 for your Clean) you have to mix those down to a single output which will go to your fx Return on the Recto.

Came in to post the same thing.
 
shark diver could I use a boss ls2 pedal switch and eliminate the line mixer or do those suck tone like every other boss pedal

I've never used the Boss Is2.
 
or could i use the four cable method since the pre has an effects loop and somehow use the a/b switch to select the preamp

Thinking about it - try the out of the pre into the loop return of the Recto. Since that loop is parallel you would only hear what the A/B switch selects. Only issues might be bleed or ground loops, but I doubt it. Then you'd only need the A/B switch.
 
Here's what I would do:

Use a Radial Headbone TS (http://www.tonebone.com/tb-headbone-ts-using.htm)

Path 1/A = Recto to Radial Headbone TS (http://www.tonebone.com/tb-headbone-ts.htm) to speaker cab.

Path 2/B = Any chorus/delay pedals you want into an EH 22 Caliber or 44 Magnum to Radial Headbone TS to speaker cab.

Radial Headbone has Slingshot remote control if you want to keep speaker cable runs short. Simple, inexpensive solution with minimal components.

I have the Headbone VT (all-valve) and it works like a charm.
 
ok so would that work with the fender preamp and i don't want to lug around two heads
