0175westwood29 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 So recently got the ABM 500 so began thinking of ways to split the rig! ended up being alot easier than i thought! remembered i had a gigrig synco synco 5 way patch bay and also a gigrig humdinger which has a phase switch and an isolated out so combined those with the es8 and clean dirty setup is go! all my effects go into the ctm-100 and the abm is just clean, pushing the compression up on the amp and a bit of pre amp grind from the valve. both heads go into my 810 which ive split so now is two 8 ohm 410's with a custom lead ill get made up so i can use both cabs with one head.

Fisheth Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Nice rig, how do you change between each head however? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bartelby Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Surely you need a 2nd 810 and just run them both all the time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grenadilla Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I have two MAG Ashdowns that are connected by the effects send of a MAG 600 to the low gain input of a MAG 300. The bass is plugged into the 600 (drives two Avatar 210s). The 300 drives a 4 ohm Avatar 210. No effects. The 600 is regular tone and the 300 is either the same tone , or trebley , or extra midrange. The effects send (or tuner out) is loud and bright. This stack is tall, like yours . It does not take up much stage width. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Nope I've split the 810 internally so the two inputs on the back each go to a 410. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been wanting to do a clean/dirty rig for a while now! [/quote] It's all split using my es8, output 1 goes to dirty ctm 100, the output 2 goes into a humdinger from gigrig so I have an isolated out with a phase switch and then out to the clean amp. Both run all the time each into a 410 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westenra Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Probably missing the obvious as I'm still gassing for a Boss-ES but can the two outputs be one with effects and the other without? Thinking of getting a gigrig three2one so I can plug my synth and bass into the same Boss-ES input but would like to have my synth output going into the effects loop (with all the effects) while my dry bass which does go through the ES can go into the front of the amp. Possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] totally mate you dnt even need the 321 if your playing one at a time you can just use both inputs on the es8, i send all my effects to my ctm and send nothing to the abm so you can split that way. so you would just make preset for your synth and bass its an awesome thing the es!

[/quote] It does however there's no way in the es8 to reverse the phase if it's out. Probs the only issue with the es8 tbh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
