Wet/dry routing and amp switching

[Lewis Fischer]

Hey all, finally got my PBC 6X and pedalboard wired up and am working through some kinks to get it all working as intended.

I'm using the PBC to control a wet/dry rig (Orange Rockerverb 50 MK III/Orange OR50).

1. Possible issue/routing:

The critical bit which I need to get right:

Insert Send: Splits with an insert cable and goes to: AMP 1 via Blooper / AMP 2 via Lehle P-Iso for galvanic isolation.
Insert Return: Goes to FX SEND.
Out: Goes to FX RETURN.

Would I be correct in thinking I need to set Insert Send to Stereo in the editor, and this should technically all be good?

I have only tested summed to mono with one amp so far, pending access to an extra speaker cab.

2. External switches:

I'm having a bit of trouble setting up an external switch to do what I want it to do.

I purchased an American Loopers switch with the LEDs setup for the PBC.

I want to program this to basically kill one amp and leave the other on.

When I go to program this I can select an IA action as Insert/Number: (presumably 1 for Amp 1 and 2 for Amp 2) etc.

Have I misunderstood this or should this be correct?

3.

Pic for context/something to look at, although I don't think it'll be much help in diagnosing any foreseeable issues:

1). That seems like it should be ok. You're only using the effect loop on one amp, right?

2). If I understand what you're asking, you would add an Audio / Insert action that turns off the insert when the button is activated:
Audio / Insert #2 off:ON on:OFF

1. Correct.

2. Thanks! This is basically exactly what i've done. Only, I can't test it until i'm back in the rehearsal room in a few days.

This seems like things are more or less in order then. Thanks for the help/sanity check.

Fingers crossed it all works properly.
