Rack effect in front of amp

Post by frankb » Tue Feb 25, 2020 5:17 pm

How could I hook up an eventide rack effect box w/ wet dry in front of an Amp with no FX loop?

There is that mixinglink pedal . Maybe that?
Thanks

Should be no prob straight in, start with all levels at 0, bring 'em up slow.

If it buzzes, ground-reverse or lift the effect.

A DI (especially with a transformer) might help, either between guitar and effect, or effect and amp - try it.

FWIW, years ago, I ran pedals with a midi pedal and Midiverb and a 128 DSP+ into the front of a silverface Bassman 50w. Sounded great at that time (doing my sorta Vernon Reid thing).

I mix with olive juice.

This is why I have an analog console. Swiss army knife of sending signals to places.
Howling at the neighbors. Hoping they have more mic cables.
