Rectifier question

[merkinball94]

I would like to use my Studio Preamp in conjunction with a Dual Rectifier (as a power amp only). From what I've seen, I should be able to connect one of the main outs on the studio pre into the effects return on the Recto to do this, right? I just want to make sure of this in order to avoid accidentally wrecking anything by not having anything plugged into the input of the recto! I assume this also means nothing needs to be plugged into the effects send port?

You are correct but I believe you must use a series effects loop.

Yes you can do this and it is covered in your manual, parallel loop included.

With nothing plugged into the input of the Recto, it wouldn't matter, since there would be nothing to blend in parallel.

get a small looper-system with two channels, so you could use both preamps (recto and studio) in A/B.
hook up the guitar to the looper, loop 1 send goes to the input of the rectifier, rectifier send back to looper return, loop 2 send into the studio input, studio send (sounds better than the master out!) back to the loop 2 return. looper output into the return jack of the rectifier. set loop mix to 100%.

if you will only use the studio, plug the guitar into the studio, go from the send out to the recto return and select a channel which is not set to modern. you can try a modern set channel as well, but the manual recommends a channel not set to modern.
