TJ And Shiva Setup / Would This Work

[ttosh]

Okay for the sake of just staying away from racks and W/D/W systems and have a flexible system that is fun to play and not to bad to gig with will the following work?, Any recommendations?

For starters the two amps as stated would be the Twin Jet and the Shiva.

Starting with a LASD PI-01 which has a great buffer and allows to go out to two amps after coming back in from the pedalboard, it will even allow stereo in and out to each amp L/R to do stereo with two amps if one desires.

Second the pedalboard I am working on with Wah, Volume, my Kanji Eternity, Boss Phase, POG, Vibe, El Capistan, Blue Sky Reverb and Lovepedal Tremolo.

The majority of the pedalboard would be run in front of both amps coming out of the PI-01 to the two amps inputs, with an A/B/Y switcher to give an option to use either amp or both at same time. The PI-01 promises to keep phase issues under control as well as it is fully isolated for hum, etc..

Question is do I want to run the reverb/delay in front of both amps in stereo, or just do mono in the Shiva FX loop and use the Shiva for clean and to mix with the TJ for solos using the Shiva in this context as the Wet side of my system without having to have a rack/poweramp/etc to keep up for a W/D/W system.

I think this concept sounds cool, and the only addition I am looking at is the Shiva. Anybody see problems with this setup, suggestions, etc....

My rig back in 2004 was a Rev 2 Uberschall and original Shiva, I don't see how you could go wrong.

Is the Reverb on the Shiva really nice? Would a dedicated reverb pedal like the Strymon be a better choice? I love the shimmer mode on the Strymon, has that ambience coloring similar to Eventide stuff to me. Thoughts?

My Shiva didn't have the reverb option, can't comment. What's nice about this combination of amps is an outstanding clean, nice mid gain, and then the Uberschall high gain channel.

Sort of like what many wished the XTC or XTC type design could do in one package.

Tim is at it again So how many hours have you spent surfing over the past two days? At least our boat is big enough.

I use the the reverb on my Shiva, and put a dd6 in the loop of my Mark III set to about 600ms. The Shiva reverb is fantastic I think, not real splashy but there.

They would compliment each other well.....

Those two amps would sound great together! Also, look into the Musicomlab MKIII to run both amps' channels/functions and make programmable patches for all of your pedals. This is what I hope to do someday when I get the cash together.

I hear someone threw down on a new 20th Shiva today....

I am going to look into the Musicomlab MKIII as an option. I have a loop master strip, but with two amps and all the pedal options I would be tap dancing all freaking night. Every time I try to simplify I seem to complicate. Still this is a lot less than the whole W/D/W system I had last year.

What other alternatives or recommendations do you guys have to research along with the Musicomlab MKIII?

For those of you that have used or totally understand the Musicomlab MKIII, can you answer the following, as I may be able to bypass the PI-01 from LASD.

Does the Musicomlab MKIII's OUT A/OUTB each go to a seperate amp and are they isolated?

Is the buffer good, musical in regards to buffers? Dave Phillips states his at LASD is one of the best.

It looks like this unit would replace my loop master 6 loop looper, give me MIDI, a buffer (optional to use), isolated outs to each amp and more.... Thoughts? Details from those who have used?

Forget the questions above after downloading the manual and researching I will not need the PI-01 for almost $300 and for a little bit more cashola this thing is the TITS....

Yeah, the MK III is awesome! Small footprint, controls 8 pedals, 2 amps' channels + functions, and can also control other midi rack gear. You can't go wrong!!!

A similar solution would be TheGigRig stuff. But they take up a LOT more space on your board and do basically the same thing.

Just got one of the LASD PI-01 splitter. Shit, they are great and doubles as an interface. Selectable buffer types too. They make some good stuff out there.
