Just curious what you meant by "the tone isn't sufficient to get what I want"? Do you mean when using the 4 cable method, or ...?

Talking strictly about the clean channel on the 20IR head - with a module they are 3-channel heads. There is volume and tone, but that doesn't give me a usable tone. Adding in some eq in the front end fixes that.
I love this. Tell me about that signal chain and how you're getting WDW.
Same questions as above for Sixstring. What's your signal chain and how are you accomplishing WDW?
Well, it's actually Wet Moist Wet, but I say WDW because it's less confusing sounding. I start with the micro looper because I use that to help create and tweak dirt, EQ, and especially VP4 presets. Then comp > od200 > Fullbore > EQ > Halo > EB vol > DL4 > Amp Detonator ABY splitter. A goes to my Vox amp, and B > IR-2, VP4 set to Stereo in the effects loop of IR-2 > CleanBox > studio monitors. Now the Halo and DL4 are both in my dry signal, which is what makes it moist. There are times when I just am running my vox, and I want some delay in there. I also often like having one, or both delays running into the Vox and monitors, while having different delays and FX from the VP4 in the effects loop going just to the studio monitors. This is especially fun when coming up with outrageous ambient sounds in stereo. I had room on my pedal board, so I kept the Halo on there because it's such a well thought out pedal, it has some great delays....and that Halo setting is glorious, even though the VP4 has the Aurora. I sometimes run the Aurora and the Halo at the same time, and often use the freeze on the Halo to go to ludicrous speed on sounds. My DL4 has two really cool modulated swell volume presets I've had for 20 years. I have no memory of how I came up with them, but for this to work, that swell has to go to both A and B ... Otherwise the non swell signal would slam the Vox, and then you get this delayed swell in the monitors afterwards. Not ideal. Using the volume pedal for the swells doesn't sound nearly as good. Having both A and B also applies for when I use the DL4 Looper function.
It's an experiment for sure! I have been trying to come up with a switching network, hopefully with a little help from @WKSmith for the balanced out and 4CM at the pedal board! So it will be either or not both. Everything will came down the snake and go to the switch then hit the amp, VP4 and cabs.
