Hi, I have a couple of vintage amps and a Fryette PS2 that I use to tame them.
I have actually never used the PS2 for silent recording, since I have a FM9 Turbo that serves that purpose very well, but as I started to think about recording my amps in a silent setup with the PS2, the first way that came to my mind was amp -> PS-> audio interface-> desktop IR loader (ex. Wall of sound or similar).
However, I started thinking that, since the FM9 is also a powerful interface, I could directly send the signal from my PS2 to the FM9 and use the latter not only as a IR loader but also to add some ambient effects to the sound coming from my amp/PS2.
In this way, I could use my analog pedals in front of the amp and add the wonderful modulations, reverbs and delays from the FM9 after the preamp, maybe even in stereo.
Since I am quite new to the Fractal world, however, I ask for your help to understand how should I do this avoiding mistakes.
Since I would use the PS2 merely as a reactive load (I would not even turn it on), I would need to have a power amp block activated on the FM9, right?
So I would need to build a scene on the FM9 with the following blocks:
modulations -> reverb -> delay -> power amp -> cab IR
Would you suggest any other addition, a different order or anything else?
Would it be better to run an unbalanced instrument cable from the PS2 to the main input of the FM9, or a balanced XLR cable from the PS2 to the balanced input of the FM9?
Let me know how would you do this, thanks guys!
