Best FX w/ Triple Rectifier? What do YOU use?

[Anthony1967]

Hi:

Just got a triple rec and the TC Electronics G major sounded like *** through the FX loop because of the parallel configuration (tried all the suggestions from boogie/tc and no luck.)

I'm hoping to add a little bit of FX to the mix--what works best in your opinion with the triple -- pedals or rack units, how about multi-fx boxes? I have no idea what I should do here although I am leaning toward a few floor pedals..

What are triple rec owners here using?

Thanks for your help...

I find that time based FX work best in the loop (Reverb and delay), but you'll never get a real "wet" reverb.

I find that modulation FX work best in front of the amp (chorus, flange, tremolo, ect...).

So what I did/do is run an FX processor through the FX loop for delay (my amp already has reverb, but I used it for reverb when I had the triple recto) and I have a pedal board in front of me with: Tremolo, Phase, Chorus, 2 Tubescreamers, and a SD Pickup Booster.

Sounds good that way.

Oh...... as far as FX processors, I've used a POD, Alesis Quadraverb, Behringer V-amp, and a couple of cheap pedals. I found the V-amp is one of the easiest and best sounding if you bypass the preamp.

Have your fx loop modded to serial. Im getting that done on mine right now.

I have a schematic for it as well. Got it from Mesa Boogie.

You could do that too :wink: , I did it with my Tremoverb.

Does the mod void the warranty? Even if I had a certified boogie tech do it?

I think it does, but you might ask the Boogie tech or Boogie in personally.

If you have it done by an authorized mesa tech, it doesn't void the warranty. My little problem is, since i live 2 hours from my mesa tech, he told me to have the mod done up here, since i got the schematic straight from mesa.

I think, if the mod is done according to print, your warranty should be fine. I don't think ME is uber strict on that.

Do the mod if you want to. The G-major is a great machine especially in series. I imagine a three channels rectifier with a G-system it must be cool!

Good luck.
