Hey all,
Before I get into it - just want to say that I've found much that I've needed over the years through searching this forum, so haven't felt a need to post myself till now! Thanks to all who have contributed to the vast wealth of knowledge on here.
Ok, so - up until recently I've happily used the AxeFX in stereo for recording and mono for live use. I want to try to change things up a bit for shows now, and I'd love some advice on whether this method (outlined ahead) will work and if there are any potential pitfalls.
Here's what I'm thinking:
- Main signal (mono pitch/mod/drive effects > amp > cab) is set as stereo but exactly the same on both L and R. Out 1L goes to FOH and Out 1R goes to FRFR wedge on stage
- Chain (path) in AxeFX splits off after cab to create a parallel signal for time-based effects (delay/reverb). This is sent to Out 2 through an FXL block in stereo, straight to FOH
So, if this works, I have a 'dry' mono signal sent to both FOH and my own personal FRFR wedge, and a 'wet' effects signal out in stereo just to FOH. Essentially this would allow big, beautiful stereo effects without losing the punch and direction of a mono amp sound, plus allow a little extra monitoring on stage as well as volume for the front row with the FRFR wedge.
1. Does this work/make sense?
2. Would I need any other gear to make this work? How do I connect Out 2 at a gig? I'd like the most self-contained situation so I can basically just hand a snake out to whoever is doing sound, or at least have whatever I ask for be extremely simple
3. Any suggestion or improvements to the concept? I know I won't be getting my delay/reverb through my FRFR wedge, but thst wedge is just for clarity and I could always ask for some of the 'wet' sound in my stage monitor - might even be kinda cool that way!
Anyhoo, let me know what you think! Thanks much,
Aman
