I have recently bought some RJM gear and its great!
I'm just trying to iron out some of the bugs in the way have set it up.
Rather than try and explain the whole set up, I have attached a PDF showing how I have patched everything in.
The rig works great. The point at which I'm running into trouble is with the Mini Line Mixer.
What I'm trying to do is run some effects groups in parallel to avoid muddying the signal when using a few effects at once.
I have arranged the 4 inputs to the mixer like this:
1. Guitar - Texas ranger - MLM
- this line is set up as a kind of boost, I really want to be pushing the front end of the amp a little more with it. When this loop is on it makes the guitar sound a little more present above the reverb which is good but makes the other effects sit too quiet in the mix. I don't want to run the ranger into the other pedals because it can make their effect too strong or muddy the signal too much and I don't want to put it at the end because it is a germanium boost so it needs my guitar to be going directly to it.
2. Guitar - Fuzz - Uni-Vibe - Octave - Delay - MLM
- The main effects chain. the OUT of the delay goes to the MLM
3. OUT 5-8 - BUFFER - IN 10, OUT 10
- end of effects chain, through buffer (also to enable TUNER OUT Function) Through loop 10 (used as a mute for silent tuning) to MLM
4. Guitar - Reverb - Boost - MLM
- Just as it looks, I have the boost after the reverb tank to bring the signal of the reveb higher in the mix than where it sits with the dry guitar sound when the other effects are off. i.e. the reverb sounds too weak without a slight boost.
I'm getting close to the sound I am trying to achieve but the way of getting there is really a bit difficult and it can be frustrating when a level is changed in one line, it affects all the others
I'm fairly new to this kind of setup and I am certainly sold on all its advantages. any suggestions or help on how to arrange my setup better would be very much appreciated
Cheers
