Thinking about turning my Budda Superdrive into a w/d/w rig

[Shreddy Mercury]

I've always heard the terms wet/dry, or wet/dry/wet being tossed around and how it was a huge part of 80s rock and metal sounds and how stereo effects were supposed to sound huge. Well, I've never been able to achieve that using rack preamps into stereo effects into stereo power amps and running 2 separate cabinets, etc. It's just sounded like regular ol' guitar music to me. Perhaps I've been doing it wrong...

I watched a couple videos tonight and Leon Todd had a good one explaining it, even though it used small cabs for the stereo sound. Anyways, my Superdrive 45 has a slave out with slave level knob. Perhaps I just need to research more into it and set my cabinets up in the room a little better and run my Budda through the 2x12 and 4x12 in the stack for the dry sound and run the slave out and run it through this Yamaha Rev 7 I like for reverb or Zakk Wylde's chorus sound (since he used the smaller brother to this processor) and something for delay and through my Marshall 9200 dual monobloc or my Peavey Classic 50/50 or Classic 60/60 into my 2 Marshall cabs and just have a huge wall of sound that would literally take up an entire wall in my spare bedroom.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

I say give it a shot! I messed with a w/d/w setup awhile ago, when I was using a lot more FX. The sounds are massive, especially with reverbs. I found that unless you are using stereo FX, it's kind of pointless but anyone thinking of doing this probably is. Plus I was getting to the point to where bringing it all to a gig was just not going to happen.
