Hello,
I have an amp head with a series effects loop and a single Fryette Power Station PS2A. Can your company assist and tell me if any of the following scenarios will work to have stereo effects using 1 amp head and 2 cabs? Each would require 2 Fryette Power Stations.
Fryette input scenarios:
Scenario 1. Use 1 of each speaker output from amp to feed 2 separate Fryette Power Stations. Then each PS feeds a separate cab.
Scenario 2. Use 1 speaker output from the amp to feed 1 PS. Take line out of that PS to line in of another PS and setup cabs same as above.
Stereo effects signal chain scenarios:
For each below effects signal chain: I’m using a Fractal FM9 for effects in 4 cable method: start of chain will always be Guitar → FM9 IN1-> FM9 OUT3 to Amp Main Input (for FX before preamp including compressor, drives, wahs, etc.)
Scenario 1: Use FX send from Amp into FM9 IN2 and then
FM9 OUT1L → PS (1) FX return
FM9 OUT1R → PS (2) FX return
Scenario 2: Use 1 effects send from 1 PS to 1 input on FM9, then use stereo outputs from 1 channel on FM9 to feed the effects return to each of the PS
Detailed breakdown of stereo signal scenario 2:
PS (1) FX send → FM9 IN2; FM9 OUT1L → PS (1) FX return
FM9 OUT1R → PS (2) FX return
Scenario 3: Use each PS effects send to feed 2 separate inputs on the FM9 which are then combined in the FM9 to return a single stereo output left and right signal which is sent to each PS effects return (this part I’m not too sure about with 2 nearly identical signals feeding 2 separate inputs on the FM9 which are then combined… phasing issues? Etc…).
Detailed breakdown of stereo signal scenario 3:
PS (1) FX send → FM9 IN2; FM9 OUT1L → PS (1) FX return
PS (2) FX send → FM9 IN3; FM9 OUT1R → PS (2) FX return
Which of the Fryette input scenarios (1 or 2) above and which stereo effects signal chain (1, 2, or 3) would be best?
Lastly, I wouldn’t want to run the time based effects in the amps effects loop since I need the left and right channel effects separate for each PS. Please don’t hesitate to ask for clarification if needed.
I posted this on a forum, however, I did not get any useful feedback.
Thanks!
Andrew
