Lehle and Radial are both great! I have used both extensively and no issues/disappointments with either.
 
You guys are awesome...lots of great info in this thread! I really appreciate all the input, advice, experiences and the PMs from you fine folks. :rock:

If you just want to go straight in the front of 2 amps, then the Big Shot works great.

So your signal would be guitar>tuner ,wah ,boost/overdrive>Big Shot>front of both amps ?
The question I have is after coming out of the effectts loops send what would go there so both amps could have delay , reverb , and modulation ?
BTW and what would come after the effects before going to the 2 effects return ?

...so you want to run the looped verb/delay in stereo?? i'm not sure exactly "how" to do that but i don't think you can effectively accomplish it with the bigshot. you could loop your effects on one of the amps, or take everything to the front through the big shot...don't think that would sound too good...imo

I''m running w/d, and my verb/delay runs in the loop of my 5153. I have a second delay that i run to the front of the plexi head...it's barely cracked on....and gives a "stereo" effect to it. I'll leave it off and then kick it on...it helps thicken up leads, runs and solos and such. i run my phase and flange in the front of my plexi also.

these dudes on here are smart...they can help you! :thumbsup:
 
No , I'm thinking of running a two amp setup . One amp (Henning Rocket) for distortion tones and a second amp ( not decided yet ) for cleans . Both amp will have effects loop .
 
gotcha (i think)...you are going to a/b them, not run them at the same time. but you want the effects looped through both amps....so you can play clean with verb/delay looped, then switch amps to the Hennning dirty tone with verb/delay looped??

if thats the case, i'd think you'd need this http://www.radialeng.com/twinline.php or something in that vein
 
Great , thanks , now if you can run tuner , wah , and boost in front of the head bone , I think this would work .
 
Lehle sgos..ive used the lehle at a bunch gigs last year- some major arenas,and a bunch of bars and clubs with bad,old,1910 wiring.Two amps used were Elmwood m90 and Bogner xtc..= no issues w/ ground,tone suck or phase.

Fulltone ABY - has a phase switch on it too. I have it, haven't used it. A friend of mine says its killer as he has used it. I will as soon as my Marshall gets out of the Shop.

I use the Fulltone because of the phase switch. I run different amps with different gain stages. Or if I use a chorus pedal out front of one amp, it flips the phase.

The Lehle is cool, but it doesnt have a phase switch. I'm shocked how they left it out??

Actually, the Lehles do have the phase switch. At least my Little Dual had one.....worked great.

Don't know what happened there , tried to edit my post and it made a new post
 
I tried most of them and the Fulltone has the best features and sound in my opinion.

My lehle sgos has a phase switch on it,but the thing's so high quality,or for whatever other reason,ive never had to use it.
