The most non metal suggestion. instead of the power amps, go into a Roland JC 40. Stereo inputs and stereo fx loops and stereo cab. You can put the dirt pedals in front and the Modulation/delay/reverb in the loop. I feel the BEOD works better into the front of an amp instead of direct to power amp. No experience with the SLO yet but it's on my radar. Otherwise, I like the ISP Stealth a lot as far as power amps goes and think they are quite overlooked in these scenarios. Others already touched on the noise issue and I'll just add to that by saying the Radial Twin City has been my go to in those scenarios with great success. It was fun to see how you tackled this and I have the older 1530 pedalboard and love it.
I would suggest looking into a Gigrig wetter box, it's basically a pedal sized parallel mixer that will allow you to run/split into stereo, W/D or even W/D/W if you wanted. An alternative might be the Red Sea Jet splitter, it's basically the same thing as the Gigrig. From there I would either split into stereo into two Powerstages, or Harley Benton makes a nifty little 50w stereo pedalboard poweramp for like 100 bucks, and feed that into the cabinets. I would route both preamp pedals first in the chain and put whatever time/reverb/modulation effects after those and if you have one that splits into stereo you could ditch the wet box and use that as your splitter into the power amp/amps. Whatever you put in-between the drive pedals would pretty much be your 'effects loop'.
The noise comes from your Digitech drop pedal. This has to be no.1 in your effects line. Also, you need the original Digitech power supply for the pedal, otherwise it won't be quiet.
Great video 🤘Brings back memories of when I did a 3 amp and 3 cab rig for home use using 3 Peavey XXLs and a Morley Tripler. Used one amp as a master and ran the preamp out to the Tripler into the power amp in of the other two amps. The biggest obstacle was dealing with ground loop hum. It was obnoxiously loud and it was hilarious to watch light bulbs rattle out of the sockets. Good times🤘🤘🤘🤘
ALWAYS put the digitech drop first!! Even before the tuner. Even the manual says it. It gives less latency + if you tune you tune the tuning you down tune to
Haha oh Kyle dude! You were cracking me up! I swear I would’ve done this the same way as you to get a quick setup. I’ll look forward to your rehashed build. I a, definitely loving the monster sized board!
I have a stereo setup on a smaller pedal board. Two Joyo bantamps. I also have a splitter setup in the channel switcher on one of the amps so it's daisy chained for one switcher to switch channels for both amps. It's pretty basic though, otherwise. Just an Eyemaster, gate, and compressor for one amp, and a Joyo distortion pedal and precision drive for the other.
that pedal show belligerent amateur edition hahahaha love it ... i have seen every tps episode ever and i cannot still put a tidy pedalboard too hahahaha
Bruh. You need a loop switcher like BOSS ES-8 or MUSICOMlab LE fXII. They have stereo outs. Isolated transformer on the right out. *Also, I made a separate pedal board for loop effects like delay and reverb. In stereo. Watch out for phasing too. I use a Radial Headlight for the front end board.
I support two powerstage 200. I have two and absolutely love them. I have one through a v30 loaded 2x12 and one through a greenback loaded 2x12. Both cabs are 8 ohm so the powerstage 200 drops to 100 watts. still too much for the greenback cab, but we dont run them loud because my helix and pod go are set up to run to FoH so, the over wattage isnt a huge issue.
As others are saying, you're having polarity/phase issues running the two amps. I run a stereo rig as my primary rig. Get yourself a radial amp switcher. It has a function to deal with polarity/phase issues. It's worth every penny.
not sure if you saw in the video but I flipped the switches on the radio pedal, it solved the grounding but did not solve the phasing, also I was still getting some very crazy sounds when running either a or b by themselves, so obviously there wouldn't be any phasing there
Stereo setups are cool because of the selection of one amp or the other, or for layering tones or running wet/dry rigs and other complex things. I find it works best with low to medium output lunchbox amps or same for pedal power amps like the baby bomb 30 you used.
As a former 90's East Coast Punk Scene Alumni?! The statements and claims made around the 16:30 time mark are not only RAD AF, but also true and totally awesome... Also F'N hilarious BTW! You just unexpectedly had me LMFAO Kyle! Ha! Almost shot PBR out my nose! Bwahaha! That's some seriously top shelf gear content right there my dude! Haha! You keep on being freakin' awesome amigo! ✌🤟🖖 🤓 Cheers!
"I like to do things the wrong way on purpose." This is why I'm a subscriber. What about an Orange Terror Stamp (with send and return and speaker sim), 44 Magnum, Baroni Mini Amp Custom 100 watt (stereo), and Carvin Mach 100 (also stereo)? This whole pedal board amp idea has a lot of possibilities.
Cool experiment, I've been running 3 different amps off my pedalboard, just to give you an idea, I run an old Carvin X-50B with 4x12 cab and Marshall JCM800 4010 and Peavey stereo chorus 2x12, vastly different animals. I definitely think there is some kind of ground loop going on, as when you used the "lift" feature it helped. I would honestly try the Cioks DC7 with the 8 power supply and the Earthquaker Swissthings pedal. The Cioks clears up a lot of noise issues, I couldn't be happier with it and way more flexible. The Earthquaker Swissthings pedal has a buffered and unbuffered set of loops. Just some food for thought, absolutely love your content!
Oh man, my Motherbrain pedalboard is a giant Gator XL and I use two other large boards and run 4 amps in a stereo wet dry wet dry mix. I am a huge pedal nerd, I would love to build a board with you 😅
1Ground Control is all Synths, filters, wahs, pre filter and wah fuzz pitch and expression pedals, 2Motherbrain is tons of pre mod, comp, fuzzes, ods, HM2sss, SSP loop pedal, volume gate, 3Space Station, all post gain mod and weird, delays and verbs in series and in parallel stereo. Two Amps are run dry with Gates and two clean with high gain preamps and eqs and shit. A volume on the d space Station board too. I stick a delay after the volume for swell repeats from the wall of verb and delay coming from the other boards. Good to have a volume pedal at the end of any board. I would go with flat ribbon patch cables too
A huge problem is that the polarity of the amps are different! Basically when one amp is pushing air the other is pulling, creating that hollow yet very wide sound. Some gain pedals change the polarity, but it could also be that the amps themselves just created differently. TLDR; you need a tool that'll let you flip the polarity (often mistakenly called phase) of one side of the setup! EDIT: Actually that is already there on the ABY box. :))
Phase is not polarity. Very different things. Everything in his rig is negative ground. One of the amps must be inverting the signal so that the two are out of phase.
This is correct. I’ve even found switching channels on one of the amps sends it out of phase or adding a distortion pedal in front changes the phase when clicked on and off. I use a radial switchbone that fixes this issue to a degree.
You can tell they go to the power supply because they are recessed like the buffer bay. I don't understand though why they had them in the buffer bay but not in the Power supply
That's a nice board ! but since they sent u power supply and buffer unit they should have sent u patch cables as well?..Oh well ,should be a great project though take care man.
The SLO pedal is not a pre amp and has no pre amp circuit, just an overdrive, and may sound good without a preamp, but I personally would have put a preamp before it. I would just switch the two amps. It is fun to test these different combos though!! Rock on!
I did a full demo on the pedal and was briefed by the company before doing so. It is 100% not an overdrive and is a full blown distortion pedal made to mimic the lead channel of an SLO. it does not need an overdrive to achieve high levels of saturation.
@@belligerentamateur I'll argue that a bit as like it's amp predecessor It's called a Super Lead Overdrive, not distortion, and nowhere on the Soldano site is it called a distortion.It' listed as High Gain.
@@belligerentamateur Well then don't ask us for our comments or opinions. I was just giving you my personal opinion, which I stated above, and the fact's of the pedal as I know them. Yes you can use it however you want....
