New Rig

I definatly understand the benefits of using a wet/dry set up. In fact, that will be the route I'm going to take. I have a few questions though.

Everyone seems to talk about w/d/w set ups. Is this only because I'd be using stereo effects?

Also with regard to stereo effects, I can understand using them for recording but for live use, would I gaining anything using a w/d/w set up as oppose to a w/d set up? From what I understand wouldn't stereo effects in a venue get confusing as one side of the audience would be hearing half and the otherside the other half?

Would (for live use) I get a better result using the traxis straight into the power amp into the cab for my dry sound and taking the second output from the traxis into the g major into another power amp (or maybe even other side of the amp?) driving another speaker?

I've ordered the triaxis now, doesn't arrive till December though, Oh the pain haha. Have to settle with the jmp-1 for now though.

Another problem I'd be a bit worried about is the way the sound engineer will mix the wet and dry sound as I'd have no control over it... but then I suppose the only real way I'd get the right mix is Triaxis-G Major-Power amp-cab... and then lose my tone. Aggh!!

Thanks for all your advice by the way!!

with regards to the w/d/w. Definately the ultimate setup, but it is cumbersome. Hauling around 3 4/12's is pretty rough on the back LOL.

If you are using a processor like the g-force that has 24 bit processing you can decent seperation with out lugging around a third cab.

For a while in my three piece band I was lugging around two 4/12 marshall cabs for my system (triaxis, g-force, 2:90). Couldn't have been any better, as it sounded like two guitars with some of the patches I had setup. I tried the W/D/W setup, but really found it to be unnecessary with the g-force.

The down side to that setup is not being able to control how to pan the dry signal. I think that is a feature that was overlooked in the g-force. It would be nice to be able to control how to pan the dry signal. I have found a work around in some instances, but it is more or less a trick.

Does anyone here own an Eventide Eclipse 3.0? I am eager to try one of those. I believe it would be a better all around processor then the g-force.

Anyone?

Thanks!
