Well, I hope I don't get too confusing, but here's what I'm trying to achieve:
I play baritone guitar and would like to have a two-amp setup, with the signal routed to a guitar amp and a bass amp. I tried it with real amps and it sounds great.
Now I want to do that virtually to play direct. Of course AX8 only allows one amp at a time, so my solution is using the AX8 as guitar amp and effects, and have a separate signal that goes into a POG (octave) and a bass amp sim/DI. I could do that with a switcher (guitar to A/B switcher and then one cable into AX8 and the other into the "bass" setup, but I would prefer to do it all inside the AX8. I'm trying to achieve that by sending the "guitar" signal through chain 2, and having a clean signal in chain 3 (for the external bass rig), and then panning hard left and hard right. It kind of works, but I seem to have a constant "bass" sound even when I turn the volume of chain 3 to -20dB in the output mixer. What am I doing wrong?
Another option (haven't tried it yet): what about inserting the bass rig in the grid and controlling everything inside the AX8? Am I making sense?
As a bonus, assuming that I can do what I'm asking for, is it possible to have a third clean output for later reamping? It would be this:
Output 1 - Guitar rig
Output 2 - Bass rig
Output 3 - Clean signal
Thanks in advance!
