Jtv59: Using Dual Outputs (to An Hd500 And 11r)

[ColonelForbin]

I was experimenting with some rig ideas on Sunday, and stumbled into the notion of running dual outputs from the JTV. I ran the VDI out from the JTV into an HD500, and the 1/4" out from the JTV into an Eleven Rack. I had those both going stereo XLR into the M20d mixer, out to a pair of L2t's.

 

I also tried running the 1/4" FX loop out from the HD500 into the Eleven Rack, placing the FX loop block as the first FX block in the HD500 patch, same XLR out to the mixer.

 

Are there any issues I should be aware of that would impact using this type of idea? I wasn't sure if there were any latency issues using both outs on the JTV at the same time vs the FX loop idea.

 

In general, it sounded good, but I did notice some added white noise that I wasn't really able to mitigate; not sure if it was power issues connecting multiple pieces of gear like this.

 

Just an idea, I am not 100% certain I would use this type of rig live- somewhat overkill, but definitely cool to be able to do looper jams, and rather cosmic dual FX processing.

 

My other idea, which I haven't tried yet, is to run the XLR out from the DT to the XLR 'mic in' on the Eleven Rack, and set up processing on the 11R as more of a mastering / tone packaging idea. Take out the 11R amp models, maybe run it so it can put the mono DI into some kind of stereo form, not sure what I intend with this yet. In general, I want to avoid adding noise or signal degradation, so would stick with (just) the JTV+HD+DT if I can't make the noise go away~

 

thanks!
