Hello,

After more than 10 years that I have never used any effects in my sound, I took the plug and tried the WET/DRY rig...
Here is the stuff

Head+4x12-Bray line out box-TC Electronic Gmajor-palmer macht402 power amp-1X12 cab.
The effects that I use is the delay and detune.

I was wondering, which would be the next step...

1)Get another cab and do the classic WET/DRY/WET
2)Get a mixer (probably this: http://www.musicomlab.com/parallelizer.htm) and add some dry to the wet

I am leaning to 1st option as I dont know the difference that the dry could make in a 1x12...

What say you?
Thanks

Interesting. I guess I would have not thought of using a single head for wet/dry. I had to look some of those items up to see how it is running. I’m not versed enough in a single head to a unit that splits signal (I guess is what is happening here) then has effects to one cab and dry to the other. Sounds cool. Certainly less cumbersome with a single head that you have vs mine which looks like “the Gordian knot” from behind. I’m convinced simple is better especially if it sounds good BUT for me I use 3 preamps into separate power amps then into the Lehle with a p split so no ground issues. Lots of wires but it sounds good and most importantly I look professional even though I suck ?

Fixed....

I have a 4x12 for the dry....
Sorry for not mentioning....
 
To get a true 'split stereo' effect you need 2 separate delay times, each going into one in/out at your power amp, to 2 separate cabs. I have 2 old school Roland SD3000s for this and to me it sounds better with that 'slight' difference in delay times between each side. Not sure if you can do that with your FX unit but that would be something to look into if your rig can't do it.

Gmajor is stereo and has the dual delay feature....so yes I can be done...but is the dry in the wet worth more than the +1 wet cab...?

I haven't yet tried a mixer in my setup....I know a few here that have; they can answer better than I.
 
If you were using two cabs of equal size, I would recommend mixing some dry tone into your wet cab for a bigger overall core tone.

However, since the dry cab is a 4x12 and your wet cab is a 1x12, I’d say it probably makes more sense to get another 1x12 and go full wet / dry / wet.

Adding the ability to run stereo effects is going to vastly expand your sound and your options. Comparatively, simply mixing just a little bit of your dry tone into a wet 1x12 when you already have an entire 4x12 running your dry sound isn’t really going to do much.
