Say i have three line signals from the guitar, one is for the tuner, the other for the clean signal and the last would be for dirt.
then i would have two line signals one from dirt and the other clean.
QUESTION:
Should i have two amps for those two out signals? or if i could have both in one amp how can i line those two signals into one?
sorry noob lang sa pedals.
use an AB/ABY switch setup. my board has a similar routing, but i have three signal routes instead (lead tone, dirty rhythm tone, clean tone). just trace the routes of the diagram below (10-band EQ not included yet):
for your application, i suggest you get a BOSS TU-2 to act as both your tuner and signal splitter. set up your routes from the TU-2's two outputs then get an AB switch to recombine both routes into one. remember, use an AB switch and not an ABY switch as both routes are on at the same time and letting both clean and dirty signals run through the output won't sound good.
here's one of the earliest incarnations of my bigger pedalboard. use this as your reference:
from TU-2:
output 1 (clean tone): MXR Dyna Comp >> BOSS CH-1 >> A input of AB switch (i used an ABY before)
output 2 (dirty tone): Ibanez TS-808 >> Maxon D&S II >> BOSS PS-5 >> B input of AB switch
from output of AB switch: E-H Deluxe Memory Man >> amp
for those who want a tri-route setup, you can use my current board as a reference:
here's my actual board setup (included the 10-band EQ/Smart Gate):
route explanation:
i splitted the signal into two from the TU-2 (it has a dual output capability) then connected output 1 to the lead tone route. output 2 is connected to an ABY switch with both A and B routes on, splitting the signal into two again. the last pedals of both clean tone and dirty rhythm tone routes are connected to an AB switch, the switch's output is connected to the Choralflange's input. the Memory Man's Echo output connects to another AB switch's A input and the output of the lead tone route connects to the B input. the second AB switch's output is fed into the Sonic Stomp. there you go, three routes and one output
