Dear lord almighty. I’ve been in need of this exact video for months now and im so excited to finally have this explained clearly and get it sinking in. Thanks for creating this box and the video and diagrams to go along with it!
Great video, Grant! Thanks for introducing me to parallel! My Goodwood 6-channel line mixer is almost ready to roll on the board and it's going to be epic!
This is great, a lot of this i can do with my Radial JD7 injector rack unit, by no means is it cheap, but gave me so many more options. I run 5 amps simultaneously right now, and have room for a couple more if I find the ones I want lol
@GoodwoodAudio it's hard going to just 1 amp now lol. The Radial JD7 injector helps tremendously with phase issues too, so it works fantastic for this kinda stuff, but not portable at all , Cheers!
Just as an addition to WDW with an amp sim, you might want the option of having the amp sim BEFORE it hits the fx units if you're using driven amp models. I did something similar with my Musicomlab Parallelizer, where each channel had a send to the fx units.
Hi Grant; That was a lot to take in but it sounds doable with your explanations. Can the signal splitter be used in a rack situation where the pedalboard feeds in as mono... From there to the splitter (in the rack) feeding out to both mono and stereo pedals ultimately outputting simulated stereo into two amps. It's not ideal because the dry tone gets effected but I love the wash of stereo effects.
You could do that, yes. Ideally you really want any parallel effect to not be passing (or be passing as little as possible) dry signal. You'd want a separate parallel dry line either going to a dry amp OR mixed back down in parallel to your stereo amps.
Remaining question for you: in the stereo parallel example with two amps - is it necessary/possible/better to run wet effects back in to effects loop? Is the dry signal not effected by the wet? Is everything wet and dry coming out of both amps, just all in parallel? Would love to hear side by side examples of this if you have a video for that?
You could run stereo, parallel wet effects as 7 cable method, yes. Depending on if you have a series or parallel FX Loop (let's assume series for now as that's harder to deal with in this question), then you'd need to split separately for dry as well to feed the mixer. Makes things a bit more complicated in this specific scenario, but still doable depending on how many FX you want to run in parallel.
@@GoodwoodAudio thanks for the reply. I recall you guys mentioning to avoid 7 cable method. I think I’m slowly getting there in wrapping my head around all of this. Appreciate the videos and insight along the way 🙏⚡️✌️
this comes with polarity invert on the 3rd channel. Wet effects are generally more predictable than overdrives (which often invert their outputs). But just in case we put the phase pushbutton on this box as well.
@Goodwood Audio What’s the difference between this and an an OBNE Signal Blender? I run two amps with an orange detonator aby at the end because I don’t always want to run both amps. I have an obne signal blender as well and want to use kill dry delay in one bloop and a rotary in second loop and out to both amps but in stereo so you get the motion of the rotary. Both delay and rotary 2 ins and 2 outs.
This has a few different options as far as being able to use mono and stereo effects, dedicated dry out etc. OBNE stuff is awesome though, but I don't think that one is stereo capable, is it? Couldn't find any mention of it. But I'd say if that one is working for you, awesome! It's a great unit.

can't wait to see it all done!

5 amps. Sounds like heaven to me.

parallel fx phasing headaches?

@Goodwood Audio or anyone…any ideas on my previous question?
