I ran a stereo guitar rig for many years. I always enjoyed the width of the modulation sounds and the ping-pong delays. Recently, I've tried moving to a W/D/W rig.
From my amp's effects send I go to a splitter. Half back to the amp's effects return and the other to a stereo processor to a stereo power amp. 2 cabinets, one for the amp's output and the other split for the stereo effects.
It seems to me that the complexity of a W/D/W rig isn't offering anything over a regular stereo rig. Kill dry is a strange thing for me to wrap my head around since I don't want to run a dry signal to the effects amp, when you cut out the effects there's a lot of volume drop as your removing an entire cabinet from the mix. Kill dry also requires effects to run in parallel when used together unless you just want to effect the effects upstream but I don't.
Am I doing something wrong or is there not that much to gain from going full W/D/W over true stereo? What is your experience?
