Rocktron Intellifex and Replifex?

[craftm1]

Any one try running this in front of the amp? I generally put the Replifex and Intellifex in the loop. Just wondering?

bypassing the hush was definitely the massive leap from digi to analog path
for the guy that wanted to avoid series stacking grab a rack mixer and run them in parallel

if you dare.
this allows 1 gtr to feed 2 fx inputs

and this combines the 2 stereo outputs in parallel down top one stereo output

yeah, this changed everything. plus, running it through John Suhr's SS FX loop, the Intellifex is pretty much transparent. bypassed the hush on all my presets.

fuck me, i am happy now. gigging this weekend and don't have to sort this out now. not fooling with anything split or stereo either....straight up marshall through a boggie cab.

Glad it worked out for you Steve. I'm a big advocate of the older Rocktron stuff and that is pretty much all I use for fx to this day.

Yes, I use the Replifex in conjuction with my pedals pre amp/preamp inputs. I switch it in and out of the path with an Axess GRX4. Works perfectly and replaced a bunch of pedals for me.

Thanks "srommes", I've used both the Replifex and Intellifex for many years but never tryed the Replifex out front. I'm going to give this a try. I think it makes sense!

Make sure you don't crank the output too high on the Replifex or you will get noise when you introduce it into the loop. I have mine set with the input set between 1-3 o'clock, the output set at noon and output level button set at +4. That's what I found worked for me.

Cool, thanks. I'll give it a go tonight

thanks for that .. ill look into .. for now im just using the replifex... however it has a very very noticeable HUM (like a low bass hum)!! .. the intellifex doesnt have it at the same volumes..using the same cables. I just plugged the replifex into the power amp with no preamp going into the replifex and the hum still persisted so i know its not my ada mp1 (it was off anyway) .. anyone of you guys who are familiar with these devices every experienced that.. ? i know its not my cables as like i said the intellifex works perfect.. perhaps i have a faulty replifex unit.. mite need repair? mite have to open it up and poke around ..im aware that hum can be a problem in rack gear but ive never had the problem with my intellifex .. and all i did was substitute the replifex in and boy that low end hum is fricken annoying on the ears.. and it gets louder as u turn up the poweramp .. but if you turn up the output or input of the replifex it remains the same volume..
prob should start a new thread.. just thought id ask while its all fresh in everyones mind .. i have done a factory restore

EDIT:: forgot to mention i tried a different power supply.. infact the same one i use on my intellifex and the hum persisted so i think its the UNIT itself causing it. what a bugger..

DOUBLE EDIT: soo basically replifex out to poweramp only with known working cables and powersupply, only creates a hum and as i slowly unplug the cables from the output jacks the hum and buzz is noticeable.. could this just be a faulty jack or perhaps its something more internall .. i wonder if an amp tech would know how to fix something like this?

im going to try it out front as well, what are you guys using to change channels on the intellifex ?

Sounds like something is wrong with it. Call Rocktron and ask to speak to Jim Chowning. Good tech and good dude!
