Three amps - wet/dry/wet setup: is FX8 right for me?

howdy,

I have a JCM800, a Budda Superdrive and a Naylor Electra-verb.

I'd like to run all three in a wet/dry/wet setup, likely with the Budda as the dry amp.

Is this possible to route with the FX8? AX8?
Or do I need a stereo power amp in there somewhere?

I'd likely be using a mix of Fractal effects + some outboard effects.

Thanks,
Case
 
A buffered splitter with isolation is always preferable when splitting to multiple amps then a Y cable. The last thing you want is unwanted noise.
 
Here is my current setup. Can someone help me fill in the blanks on where place/hook things (including the ABY switch) for a 3-amp setup, using the AX8 for stereo effects, but sill with the outboard delay in the AX8 loop? I prefer not to 'slave' any of the amps if possible.

1. Guitar > Boss TU-2 (Out 1) > Naylor input
2. Boss TU-2 (Bypass Out 2) > Budda Input
2. Naylor effects send > Ax8 instrument input
3. Ax8 Out 2L > Hughes and Kettner Replex tube delay
4. Replex Out > Ax8 In 2L
5. Ax8 Out 1L > Naylor effects return
6. JCM800???
 
Do you want to use any AX8 effects before any preamp section? It would probably be easiest to route for that anyway and set the H&K delay aside for now as it seems to be mono.

Gtr > AX8 instrument in

AX8 Output 2L > Y Splitter > Naylor/JCM inputs

AX8 Output 2R > Budda input

Naylor/JCM fx send > AX8 Input 2 L/R

AX8 Output 1 L/R > Naylor/JCM loop return
 
Friday afternoon experiment:

I want to run my Naylor Electraverb combo into a stereo poweramp out to two cabs for a w/d/w setup.

Do I still need a Y-splitter in this scenario, or can the AX8 accomplish this without one?
