Rack Systems Wet Dry Pedal Board of the week

[RACKSYSTEMS]

Here is a really cool board that incorporates a power amp on the board for a wet dry setup. The signal starts with the Fulltone wah>Octron>Hartman comp>Tube Screamer>Full-Drive 2>Ocd>Retrosonic Phase>Retrosonic Chorus>Lehle Dual a/b box out to 2 amps of choice. Then the fun begins. The 2 amps go to their own cabs but the 2nd speaker out of each amp comes back to the board and goes to a custom mixable Line Out box with 2 levels on it. This box then feeds the Strymon El Capistan and that feeds the Strymon Blue Sky reverb>EH 44 magnum power amp pedal and then to cabinet of choice. This worked really well. The wet cab had some dry in it also and there is no phase problems because the Strymons have a analog dry path. Enjoy

Once again Dave, nice work! Too much stompin for me though.

 

[thenine]

coolio!

Hey Dave, I sent you a PM about a custom build?

 

[mentoneman]

wow that is quite an interesting route
love the idea of the .44 magnum

 

[The Hoff]

That's different-nice work as usual though!

 

[mikehickey]

as always, killer looking board. I am trying to figure out this phasing stuff with w/d/w and multiple heads and gain stages.. I should just send all my junk out to you and write a big check

 

[steve_k]

Oh wait, so you are driving the wet cab with the 44 Magnum?

Steve is having brain farts now on how I can make this work for me

Those power amps in a pedal would seem useful for a wet dry setup if one didn't want to carry around and extra amp.. I saw the recent rig tour of Vivian Campbell's setup and he was using a Mojave into a Crate solid state power block to drive another cab with effects. Smart idea and something nobody will notice live.

Any problems with signal loss by running the speaker cable from the pedal board? I'm using a 22 caliber for the same purpose...but I keep it close to the cab.

Nice work Dave. Looks awesome. Those .44 Calibers are really starting to take flight.....

[RACKSYSTEMS]

No loss in signal with speaker cable.

 

[steve_k]

No loss in signal with speaker cable.

Any hidden ISO transformers for amp isolation? I know you like to bury them somewhere Or, is the Lehle enough?

Steve

 

[RACKSYSTEMS]

Lehle is isolated.

 

[steve_k]

Lehle is isolated.

Thanks.....
