Monitors for W/D/W

[MYLILSS]

This is probably a dumb question, but I’m curious so thought I’d ask. I just got two brand new KRK 8” powered monitors, and don’t reallt have a use For them yet. I run my EVH head with a Mesa 2x12 at home for low volume stuff. Would it be possible to run the line out from the head into my eventide pitchfactor, and then split that into these two monitors for a WDW set up ? Or would that damage anything ?

You would need a stereo power amp after the eventide to power the stereo wet speakers.

That would sound massive!!!!!

The KRKs are powered, right? I'd set the output on the PF to line level. Might still be a little noisy (nothing unbearable, though), but should work just fine. Just don't crank the KRKs up so loud they start distorting. I'd still think they'd get plenty loud, at least enough for home use.

Oh, these are powered?

No need for the power amp then....

Yeah these are powered monitors. The levels I play at, at home, are very quiet. I may have to give this a go ! Haha

I would, definitely worth a shot. W/D/W can be really addicting.

Oh, one other thing. Make sure to use the Kill Dry function on your Space. If you don't, you'll get dry sound through your wet monitors, too, albeit one that's been ever so slightly delayed due to the AD>>DA conversion. That can, and usually does cause weird phase cancellations. Not quite as big a deal in stereo, since there's a little delay anyway caused by the time it takes sound to travel from your dry cab and your wet cabs to your ears. I'd try it both ways and see which works best for you in your room.
