Pete thorn explains the one head "mono" hook up at around 18:50. I'll post a video of the one head tone with my splawn.

Yeah but why?

Is this a way to get/simulate wet/dry in mono? Does it sound better in some other way im not thinking of?

I understand what you're trying to do as far as signal path, but I don't understand what the benefit is when you're running one amp

I'm not trying to be pedantic I really just don't understand what the benefit is from either of the videos

I gotta agree. It's just pointless signal path use. If you were using 2 amps I get it but...

Even if I run 3 amps. I'm still getting the dry signal to the friedman super low. Idk if it's because is a plexi style amp or what. I have seen others do it and I asked around.

The EVH-version of the SDE has a built-in noise gate which operates like an NS-2.

The entire loop. As soon as the SDE is hooked up I loose alot of volume just going through the loop. If I do 4cm it sound like aliens are coming to anal probe me.

If you remove the pedal and run a long cable between the send and return, do you still get volume drop? If so, do you get volume drop with a short cable? Do you get volume drop using a different pedal in the loop?

Is your loop on the power station set to instrument or line level? This seems like the choke point
 
Sounds like you experiencing a possible impedance issue going to the front of the Friedman Plex since you are driving the amp input via the pedal and then the signal from the SDE3000 feeding the loop of the Fryette PS. That's all I can think of.

If I take take SDE 3000 out of the loop everything is normal. I am still running other pedals through the loop.
 
DanTravis62 said:
I got that, my question is why would you run your input into the SDE?

I don't see what benefit you would get out of it besides making your signal chain needlessly more complex.

Why don't you just run your guitar into the input of the amp, and use the power station loop for the SDE? Or, if you want to run the SDE in front, why are you running the SDE through the power station at all?



I'm sure the volume loss is because youre using 4CM, what I can't for the life of me figure out is why you're using 4cm

+1. Run the SDE into the loop, ditch 4CM. It's over-complicating it, and likely the culprit to the issue.

But that's when I get the super low volume. The 4cm feel like I'm about to get a circumcision in an alien time warp with how it sounds.

This is what I am doing but the send and return go to the power station fx loop.

To be honest I’m having trouble even conceptualizing why this routing option even exists. It’s so convoluted and needless. Just route your guitar straight into the amp and the delay pedal in the loop and be done with it.

The ONLY reason I could see this being an option worth considering is if the delay pedal has a built in noise gate and this routing allows you to sidechain the gate by routing the gate itself in the loop but the gate’s trigger to the raw guitar signal. And even then you’d probably need a ground iso box or something in there to eliminate the ground hum.
