I finally aquired all the gear for a W/D/W setup with my Roadster Rig:
It's pretty much my basic A Rig now dry, through the G-Major 100% Wet into a Recto 2:100 feeding two Recto Vertical 2X12's.
While the Ping Ping delays were cool to mess with, overall it just didn't live up to my expectations.
The guys in the band said the rig sounded too processed and that my core tone was much better before. I agree.
At first I ran the Slave out split into L/R thru the G-Maj, L/R into the 2:100, L/R into the 2X12's. The WET signal was very thin and bright. It really effected the over all timbre of the rig. I tried a GEQ right after the Slave Out but it really didn't help as I wanted.
Next I put an SM57 on the 4X12, into a small mixer and used the mixer's channel insert to feed the G-Maj/2:100. While this warned up the WET cabs 100% I still really was not that impressed. Although my physical soundstage was wider the overall tone of the rig was weak and thin.
Maybe I have some kind of phase issue? I don't think it's volume as I did try cranking the rig. The only result was not being able to hear the rest of the band LOL.
I'm really just doing this to try it. Most places I play don't have room fr a rig this size, but I still would like to master a W/D/W rig for sh!ts & giggles.
Any suggestions?
