Sounds great Boof! Glad I could help with the PT100, let me know if you need anything else!

Matt :)
 
Sounds massive man... I would love to rock an XTC and PT in stereo. Great job! :thumbsup:
 
Nice, what are you using for effects, and how are you running the amps together?
 
Just make sure that you realize when running two amps in parallel you may have a phase issue.
Also with channel switching the phase can flip when hitting a boost that adds a tube or when switching channels.
It is a good idea to make a flipped speaker cable, with both amps at the same level try and use the flipped cable and compare to a non flipped cable on one amp. The fatter sound will be when they are in phase.

hummm in that vid I couldn't really even say I had just plugged it in and was just trying out various effects. but delays were from a g-force and I think chorus from an analog bi-chorus in the fx loop of the PT-100and both use an mxr eq always on.

But in general. its two separate racks really. makes it very easy to use them together or separately .
bogner rack has keeley comp, suhr riot, ocd, retro sonic phaser, and mxr flanger in front of it with an mxr 10 band eq in the loop and a ISP prorack G as well as an RJM RG-16. the line out of the bogner feeds a g-force into a 2:90

pt-100 rack has a keeley comp, keeley ts9 mod plus, and pickle vibe in front of it with an mxr 10 band eq, analog man bi chorus (deep switch), a DD7, and a phase inverter cable in the last loop. Also has an ISP prorack g with an RJM effects gizmo. That also uses a line out to feed the g force as well

both line out feeds from the xtc and pt-100 go into separate loops on the RJM RG-16 and then out to a mini line mixer so I can use one or the other or both amps for the wet sides.

rocktron all access and y-not used on the board to control amp head switching (one instant access switch for the xtc one for the pt-100) channel switching for the PT-100 with an RJM mini amp gizmo that I just got and I am still waiting for the cable. was using a nobels ms-4 up till now. XTC uses the RG-16 function switches with the RJM cable.
basically looks like this

thanks yes. Indeed I do have a cable that Dave Friedman made that inverts the phase. Although it wasnt being used when I made the clips. I just insert it into one of the loops on the RJM effects gizmo and kick in the loop when needed and no more phase issues. Your amp sits very well with the bogner and fills out the sound nicely. Really gives the whole set up a huge full sound. I just found out on another thread that Ron can make the y-not with a phase inverter built in as well. I'm kinda kicking myself for not having read that thread earlier as I just bought the y-not less than a week ago that doesn't have that functionality.

side note. the fx loop on the pt-100 has so far worked flawlessly. I thought I would get clipping with the bi-chorus in the loop running it a 9v but it works without any issues at all.
