Hi
it was the PRX 150-DAG the one with the push/pull pot on the line out and the line out when used into an Eventide H3000 with either the Non EQ or with EQ option I found the line out was just not good enough to use into the H3000 as it makes the wet signal sound totally different to the dry signal
maybe I am just being fussy but I want my wet signal delay/reverb to be a perfect mirror image of my dry signal
I have heard many W/D/W rigs where the dry signal and the wet signal sound distinctly different and that just does not work for me.
specifically when using stuff like delay or reverb I always want my dry signal from the center cab to perfectly intact as if no time based effect is being used and then the two wet signals must be identical in tone and gain etc so it all sounds like one signal and the two things I always find mess it up are a non speaker emulated signal for the processor or using a tube power amp for the wet signal.
EVERY time without exception that I have tried using a tube poweramp for the wet signal it fucks up the sound because the wet signal no longer sounds like the dry signal and for me that defeats the purpose of using W/D/W but..... whatever floats boat
just listen to guys like EVH VAI Aldrich etc they are all using solid state poweramps for their wet signal and with good reason
the Aracom is great as an attenuator but its not up to the job as a stand alone unit for wet dry wet .. thats just my opinion of course....

The aracom is a great attenuator with regards to transparency but I found the line out signal was not good enough for a signal sent direct to an effects processor for wet dry wet as it is too raw and the eq on it is all over the place.
to get around this issue I ran my aracom in conjunction with the Palmer PDI 09 speaker emulator.
The amp signal goes into the PDI 09 first and then into the aracom and then the speaker emulated signal from the PDI 09 goes into my eventide then the aracom feeds my cab it worked really nicely although.... I have now sold the Aracom and just use the PDI 09 and find its all I need for wet dry wet.
Cool thanks for that.
Just out of interest, what model Aracom was it?
One of the earlier ones or one of the updated versions like the PRX 150-Pro 2 or PRX 150-DAG?
Also the PRX 150-DAG model's line out gives you a push/pull pot that switches between the raw Non-EQ'd lineout signal & an EQ'd (speaker filter) lineout signal.
