Old man is a noob

[Rustybass9858]

Hey guys and gals. 66 year old wanna be here.

 

So I am back in the game recently and have a rig I want to set up. In the past it was just an amp into cabinets. I never used effects or a separate preamp.

 

I have a GK MB fusion 800 and GK NEOs 2x12 and 4x10. That was my rig I used to use and am using now.

 

I recently acquired a rackmount Sans Amp RBI and a GK RB 800 amp. I also have a DBX 160x compressor from my "studio".

 

My idea is to use one amp into each cab, one for a "clean" tone cab [the 4x10?] and the other into a "dirty tone cab" [the 2x12?]. How do I use the Sans Amp? Just into the "clean" cab?

 

I also am in the process of building my first effects pedalboard that I wish to incorporate into this rig. [I have a Source Audio SA-143 filter, Digitech Whammy, the Chancellor Dunlop foot pedal, OC-5 octave, Kasleder Albatross, Darkglass B3K, tcElectronics Sentry, MXR Bass Chorus, Screen Violence and the Keeley Caverns.]

 

I had this idea and now I am unsure of how to safely hook all of it up.

 

I know I need a splitter.

 

I am sure all of this can be done. But I need my hand held to guide me into the specifics. Simple things like do I use instrument cables to connect everything except the speakers?

 

All these years and I never gave a thought about how to hook up anything other just a simple amp/cab rig. Then I got this crazy idea and started to buy shit. I guess finally having time / money / motivation caused all of this. And now i feel I am in over my head.

 

Anyways I would appreciate the assist on how to hook all of this up the way I want it.

 

Thanks in advance.

Your SansAmp will do the splitting for you, it has two pairs of outputs a pair of jacks and a pair of xlr's. One of each is a clean output the other tone shaped within the SansAmp. Simply plug your bass straight into the SA and take one of the outputs to the clean amp and the other to all the fx in your dirty channel
