Best way to run a stereo effect setup

[hagcel]

I have a 3 channel dual rec.

I am going out of my dual rec efx loop into a TC2290 stereo delay and also have a stereo flanger and chours which I can loop into the 2290 in stereo.

Currently I am just using it as mono. I have another cab so would I simply send the stereo left back to my dual rec and the stereo right to a power amp to power another cab?

Currently I do not need a ton of power as I am not playing out anymore, just at home. It would be powering a 4x12 or possibly 2 4x12s.

If all I need is another power amp what Mesa power amp do you guys like with a dual rec? I'm open to suggestions from other manufactures too.

thanks

may sound stupid, but go out and get a second dual recto.
feed the signal into the return jack and you have the best matching power-amp you can get.

a stereo 19" rack power-amp would be cool, if you go ahead and make a wet/dry/wet setup with your amp and effects. therefore a 2:100 or 2:90 would be cool.
if you don´t need that much power you should check out a 20/20, an old 50/50 sounds good as well, but they don´t have any voicing switches like the two big ones have.
and if you run one channel on vintage and the other modern, you´ll have an increase of output power from the dual recto, which can cause a volume drop on the 19" power-amp side, if there is no second volume or mode-switch.
why is it? because in modern mode the power-amp of the recto is louder as with the other modes, so you turn down your channel volume and because of this, the effects get less input signal and the second power-amp gets less signal level as well.
other brands: peavey 50/50 or 60/60 power-amps are fine as well.
