Two-Amp Setup

[favance]

Use the "Mixer" block after the Amps (in parallel)...you can then adjust the levels of each amp output and where they sit in the stereo field! I have a Fender Deluxe and 50 watt Marshall Plexi (jumped) in parallel setup like this. One channel, w/both amps Clean, one w/the Deluxe Clean/Marshall opened up, one w/both opened up, and one w/the clean amps and a Bender fuzz. One of the best presets I've built.

Intresting stuff guys!
Nice addition to the Cooper Carter Master Class vids I watched yesterday.

Does anybody just run 2 amps in parallel and leave both amps in mono ? Any tips on doing it like that I want to keep it a mono signal and use stereo effects

Set them up in stereo with the enhancer block after them, you're welcome. Game changing if you use IEMs live.

With the most recent FW19, dual amp presets are more usable than ever. I ran a Matchless DC30/5F8 Tweed combo this morning and it was REALLY, REALLY good!

AC30+5F8 has been my go-to “Nashville” combo for over a year now, both amps in the Fractal are just

My main preset is dual amps. Hbe and IIC++. On their own they sound great. Together.... so good, I can’t live without. One is a darker tone than the other but they just work together perfectly. I’m not a axe fx 3 pro but I found my dream tone and it’s dual amp all the way. Ymmv

Coould you maybe share your preset ?
I had no luck with dual amps yet.
I´ve got always some weird frequencies when using dual amps in high gain.
Would love to see how others dial this in, thanks

That 5F8 is so good!

Hi Thomas, I've tweaked this preset a lot since 2020 when I posted that! I was trying to get something that sounds good but has a better chance of cutting through a mix as well. I can share it later today.

Yek recently shared a really nice dual amp preset over here in this post. He uses a delay block to offset the one amp by 10ms, which probably helps with the phasing issues as well as gives it a great sound.

Here’s my dual amp preset with the IIC++ and HBE models. Scene breakdown listed below. Some scenes are using single amps as it helps me to listen to what they sound like on their own before combined into a stereo blend. Perhaps this isn't practical for live use but through studio monitors it really pops out and inspires me, and that's all I care about.

Scene 1 - IIC++
Scene 2- HBE
Scene 3 - IIC++ left, HBE right
Scene 4 - IIC++ left, HBE right - with some delay, reverb and a Pitch block I found somewhere in these forums that provides more stereo separation - similar to the Mimiq pedal. You can also disable the Pitch block and engage the Enhance block instead for a different feel.

Scene 5- IIC++ (with slightly reduced gain)
Scene 6 - HBE (with slightly reduced gain)
Scene 7 - IIC++ left, HBE right (with slightly reduced gain)
Scene 8 - IIC++ left, HBE right (with slightly reduced gain + reverb & pitch_

Keep in mind I used Scene Controllers to control the gain reduction between Scenes 1-4 & 5-8 as it provides a gapless transition when switching.

I use an IR I found in the forums a while back called ‘LeonTodd V30-GB Mix NA’, including it as well. Thanks to @2112 of course… I use this as my IR for most high gain tones as it works well for what I'm looking for.

Let me know what you think.

Oh - Keep in mind I exported these on FW 19.00

Great preset!!! Love the blend...
