Wet/Dry Question: Mixer?

[sparkle**]

Ok...

setting up a wet dry... How do I know if I need a Mixer? Suhr Mini Mix or RJM Line Mixer?
Also how do you know if you have a phase issue?

Also what If I want a little of the DRY signal in the wet cab? Is this going to sound alright?

Running
Head to Dry cab
DI out of head to Gmajor
Gmajor to Power amp
Power amp to Cab.

I prefer dry in the wet cabs (that's the way EVH, Vai, Sykes, etc do it).

Whether you need a mixer depends on what you're using. If you just have one delay and say a chorus, then you can get away without using a mixer. If you want to use two delays, you'll want a mixer, otherwise your first delay, will 'delay' your second one. In other words, you'll want your delays in parallel, not series.

What you're proposing will work fine.

How do i get little of the DRY signal in the wet cab?

I assume I run the Gmajor without the KillDry? and then dial in a percentage of Dry signal?

 

[reverymike]

Yeah, just run the gmajor and mix your preferred sound as you normally would (unless you normally run the gmajor 100% wet in a parallel FX loop.

How do you set your Delay... 250 and 500 ms?

Once you've got this all setup let me know how you set your Gmajor2 as I find mine finicky and not that suited to my effects loop in my Randall. What are you using as your power amp?

I have a Gmajor not a '2" I had a two and hated it in the loop....

I am using a Mosvlave 500 ?942?

Be careful if you aren't using a mixer. If you run dry in the wet cab and it is going through a fx processor it will have some latency and may cause some filtering issues.

But If I run 100% wet in the wet cab I should be ok?

Yes. But try the dry mix in the fx, it can sound huge. You just have to pay attention to the tone. You might not have any issues at all. I just prefer a mixer so I avoid any issues from the start.

Got it...Like a RJm Line mixer...mix in some dry into the wet cabs....

I use the CAE because it really is 2 mixers in 1, And I can control the mix of the dry with it. I split the line out signal, one into the mixer dry, and then the other into the fx, then fx 100% to mixer. Easiest way to me to have instant control of total mix, fx mix and dry mix.
