Rig Diagram. W/D/W

I think Zachman's rig is more complicated, and i also think that if this was done to help others understand W/D/W you've wasted your time. It will do nothing but complicate their lack of understanding.

If the purpose is to explain something then you dont talk over their heads or down to them.

These are the diagrams for my setup:

I am not talking down to anyone. Its the first time I drew a rig like this and Lonnie was kind enough to let me flood his email box with questions. He provided very helpful answers and is a really cool guy.

I think people's understanding varies.

I have seen many diagrams on the RJM website that are very very helpful. This was just my attempt.

I have not heard clips of Zachman's Rig but the complexity of the rig is not what inspired me to draw out the rig. The options and textures and sounds it produced impressed me.

Plus you have to admit the 6x12 idea is rad.

I used to do those all the time, and found them VERY useful to help me visualize the signal path when designing or laying out a rig for someone.

The above clip is only a small sample of the tones available. Since that video was taken, I've changed up the rack stuff a bit:

Yes the DL-4 on his old pedalboard and the Rack Mount Echo Pro's got replaced with the Eventide Eclipse. Along with the other rack effects in the Diezel Channel Inserts. The rack was wired post recording of the album and just pre touring.

The sound quality seems to have improved from the live video I have seen. I will try to find some comparison video's.

this post got me itchin to play my rig w/d/w for fun

ive stuck to w/d live because i play a mono house and w/d seems to translate better than trying to sum w/d/w to mono

anyway one cool feature of my rig is all i need to do to go from wd to wdw is plug an additional power amp/cab to the right output of my gforce and call up a preset i've programmed with 3 way wdw sound in mind.

this was a clip i made today with my fender super champ xd set clean as the middle dry core platform.
tyler classic strat with tom holmes 450 bridge/ fletcher landau standard middle and neck single coils->
boss v wah set for univibe that you hear at the end of the clip->rivera/glab GSC-1 4 loop switcher with following pedals: barber tone press/arion sch-1 japan chorus/vertex modded plexitone overdrive/custom tone ethos

out of the rivera switcher i put an isp decimator always on set at noon, and a tc flashback delay, which i used to create the loop i solo over, out to the xd amp input.
so those last two pedals are always in the path and available.

tweaks:
the xd has RCA 6v6 power tubes, and a green tone grinder solid state preamp tube, and i'm plugging the speaker out of the xd into hotplate to send a line out to my gforce, and the speaker out of the hotplate to my tone tubby hbomb 2x12 open back cab loaded with one green ceramic and one red alnico hempcone speaker.

so the clean is tone press compressor->arion chorus->amp->hp line out to gforce "landau" patch (comp/verb/delay/chorus/parametric filter) stereo out to a tech 21 power engine with a scumback H65 on left out and crate poweblock set for mono into a hughes kettner closed 1x12 loaded with an EV 12L on the right out

dirty sound is the rivera switching off tone press and arion, and switching in the plexitone high gain mode, and gforce switches to a delay/verb patch. you hear the gforce switching patches going from dirt to clean, but it's quick enough it doesn't kill me. the rivera is quiet and instant with the pedals.

if you hear some clams, up yours....you try playing that tune
