umph Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 [quote name='Silent Fly' post='621407' date='Oct 9 2009, 10:46 AM']I am not sure I understand why you would like to run the effects in a second amp. Unless the the second amp has a very strong personality, from the sound viewpoint, you should be able to achieve the same thing with a blender.[/quote] head room also if your running big octave down effects in parallel or bass heavy fuzzs it'll eat into the headroom so it's easier on the amps to run them in parallel. Also you can eq them differently! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess that once it's through the PA it might not make much difference but I like being able to treat each chain differently and have both going on independently behind me. As mentioned, both amps have a fair bit of character too I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal-Mariachi Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 I like running delay and phase into a separate amp, with a bit of separation between them. It adds a more Leslie type of sound as well as making the bass bigger overall when the effects are off. MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fretmeister Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 It is all about the EQ - the 2 rigs means no compromise. Brendan - the red POD was back up for the Bass Pod XT and the Ampeg SVP-BSP As a guitar unit it could do the drive, but the Fender Bassman patch was a servicable emergency low end back up too.

PauBass Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 I've lost the manual for the Boss LS-2 and I need a bit of help here. I want to try two things with the two amp rig: 1- Run the two amps on all the time, one clean and add the effects just on the second one when needed. 2- Have one amp clean at all times and only kick in the second amp with the effects as required. Can I do it with the LS-2? If so, what are the right pedal settings for each option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mildmanofrock Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 Would bi-amping make full PA gigs more difficult - especially with limited soundchecking time? Plus sweet-talking the soundman into micing up or taking DIs out of two heads and balancing the two sounds out front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you could have send A going straight to the amp, and send B going through some pedals and then to the amp. If they're hi/lo gain just use the knobs on the LS-2 to level them out. 2 - If you plug the output of the LS2 into your main clean amp and send A into your effects chain, and have it on A+B/Bypass, then hopefully it would work. If it mutes the clean amp when you switch on the pedal you'd have to add a patch lead to the send and return B. Then use the knobs to level it out.
