Alesis Sr 18 with hx stomp XL

[mendo222]

Hi perhaps this problem was posted but I don't see his answer. I've a Alesis SR18 for drum parts and a new hx stomp xl, I use it just recently so I don't know a lot of feature possible with. In first time I plugged the stomp in front of my little Joyo Jackman, with other analog pedals and my Alesis in the loop of my amp to not have the drum sound tweaked by the stomp or the pedals. Really weird sound to have a distortion on a drum preset. But some effects on Stomp plugged in front are not too good as reverb, delay etc, so I decided to put the stomp into my amp loop and add a FX loop block on the stomp to add all effects who are better without preamp traitement. But the big problem now is to plugged my Alesis, I tried a lot of cables jigsaw but nothing, all the time my Alesis is affected by the Stomp. Effects before or after the loop block, same problem I've a drummer with a inverted reverb lol. Do you have a solution well explained for a new user with not English as mother tongue, thanks

You have two FX loops, L and R.

Put your external FX in FX Loop L - !/4" TS (tip/sleeve - guitar cable) to first effect Input, last effect Output (TS Cable) to Amp Input, Amp SEND to RETURN L.

Place the MONO FX LOOP Block L wherever you want the FX and Joyo PREAMP in the chain. This is called 4cm (four cable method).

**External FX can be placed between the SEND L and amp Input and/or between the Amp SEND and RETURN L.

 

Take the Output from the SR (TS cable) to the RETURN R and place the MONO RETURN R Block at the END of your signal chain.

Make sure that the GLOBAL SETTINGS>Ins/Outs are set to INSTRUMENT for both Send/Return L and R, and RETURN TYPE is set to RETURN.

If the SR is distorting set Send/Return R to LINE.

You can now plug your guitar into the XL Input to have XL FX (OD, MOD) in front of your external FX/Joyo PREAMP, XL FX (MOD, Delay, Reverb, Joyo PREAMP), after the external FX/Joyo PREAMP.

Your XL Main Output L/Mono can now be connected to your amp's Return or PA.

The SR's signal will BYPASS all of your other (XL and external) FX/Joyo PREAMP.

 

If you want ONLY the guitar through the amp and the SR into another amp or PA, pull the RETURN R Block down to split the path, then use an A/B Split (instead of a Y-Split and pan it full LEFT. At the MIXER Block Pan A full LEFT and B Full RIGHT.

Now the guitar signal on Path A will be routed to the L/Mono Output and the SR will be routed to the RIGHT Output.

 

I've attached a demo preset showing how to split the Guitar and SR signals to separate amps.

Just place the RETURN R Block at the end of the chain (no split) if you DON'T want to split the signals.

thanks a lot tested this morning it's perfect I can have my Alesis without any distortion and reverb delay on the loop with very better sound than in front of the amp. Thanks again
