Dual Amps Effects Loop (With Image)

Post by icetrey »

Hey guys, I'm using a Mesa Dual Rectifier and Roland Jazz Chorus with a G-Major 2 and Carbon Copy Delay in my rig. I've already wired both items into the Mesa effects loop and will include a photo of the current signal chain. The problem now is that I can't use those effects with my Roland (the Roland doesn't have an effects loop). Is there a way to use the Mesa effects loop and still be able to use the pedals with the Roland? Thanks.

Hi There,
You can do this, I’ll go through from the NS1.

NS1 Out -> Loop4 In -> Loop 4 Snd -> Mesa In -> Loop 4 Out -> Loop5 In -> Loop 5 Snd -> Carbon Copy In -> Carbon Copy Out -> Loop 5 Rtn -> Loop 5 Out -> Loop 6 In -> Loop 6 Snd -> GMajor 2 In Left -> G Major 2 Out Left -> Loop 6 Rtn -> Loop 6 Out -> Loop 7 In -> Loop 7 Snd -> JC120 In Loop 7 Out -> Mesa Rtn.

If you can follow that, it should get you going. Do away with the y cable to the amps.

To use the Mesa, have Loop 4 on and Loop 7 off, to use the JC120, have Loop 4 off and Loop 7 on.
GCPro, GCX, Pedal Power 2+, Pedal Power AC.
And some other stuff.

Sorry, I forgot to mention I want to be able to use both amps at the same time also. And your signal chain never had anything plugged into the Mesa Send of the effects loop. Thanks for the help.
