Mark! What a great job explaining the W/D and W/D/W concept! Thanks for simplifying! 💯 We are super-stoked to have you do this reference video to demonstrate not only how this works, but WHY you might want to try this for recording and/or live. Also, love that this shows how using a modeler can actually make the execution of this setup so much more practical than using real amps. 👍🙏🎉

Holy shit. Doing a Wet/dry has always sounded like it'd be magical, but a pain in my ass that I didn't feel like tackling. As a fellow ACS1 user that has a Diso+, this looks like it'll be incredible and super easy. I also have the XLR sum and the 1/4 sum, so worst case scenario in a live setting if I only have one slot available on the board, I can sum it all and be good to go without having to re-patch anything anyways. Thanks so much for the video! Also, slightly curious to know if you're using stock cabs and all that ish on the ACS1. Anyways, always love your tone and playing!

Another good option is the Radial Key Largo - you can do wet/dry/wet or parallel mixing of up to three stereo signal paths, along with a master effects send if you want to glue everything together with a reverb or some compression. The difference is only 2 xlr outs, so you have to do your own mixing.

Ok, so much yes! One question. If you had a stereo modulation in the signal chain, would you put that first in the stereo chain before delay and reverb, or just opt for mono modulation and put it before acs 1 to have it on both dry and wet signal?

Great sound, but through how many speakers are we listening to, or is all direct? If direct, the question still holds, how many speakers are we hearing on youtube if any at all? My apologies if i missed your explanation regarding the final audio YT output devices. I'm thinking of using a similar setup, though with a Kingsley Juggler Preamp into a Seymour Duncan Powerstage (2 cabinet outputs for the wet left/wet right duty), and using my Victory Duchess amp for everything else. The Kingsley sounds so beautiful (classic Dumble) I'm just worried about having a balanced sound signature. Perhaps a video Mark, for those of us using different amp/speaker setups, for the wet/dry or wet/dry/wet setup (which sounds so appealing), and how we can begin to attain a balanced sound signature with three speakers. The only thing i can come up with, if it's way off, is to put a bit of the dry channel/amp dirt into the wet amps/channels to help amalgamate the sound character of three different speakers. Geesh, and i just thought about the phasing issues that may arise.

An idea I’m waiting to clarify with Strymon doing this with the Mobius to introduce modulation into a rig like this. It’s using a splitter before the Mobius and a parallel mixer for the Timeline and BigSky. So it’s a very similar w/d/w rig to the one in this video. It should work w/d as well. Goes something like this: 1) the left OUT of the Mobius just goes into the IN of the dry path (this puts the Mobius pre just by placement) 2) the right OUT of the Mobius goes into the IN of the first pedal of the wet path (this puts the Mobius physically in the wet post path) 3) left OUT of splitter into the Mobius left IN 4) right OUT of splitter into the Mobius right IN 5) flip the rear switch to pre/post on the back of the Mobius I’m not 100% sure yet but if the Mobius seperates the pre/post routing this way this may be a good solution.

Hi Mark, are you using the standard DISO+ or the one with polarity reversal since you're using different amp models in the left and right channels of the ACS1...or is the polarity reversal only necessary when using 2 different amp pedals like the Ruby and Dream at the same time? BTW, I have to say you guitar tone seems more like an actual amp using the ACS1 than a lot of your more recent videos using the Ruby and Dream combo. Those UA pedals have a glassiness (for lack of a better term) to my ears that make them sound less authentic than the ACS1. I had the Dream, but just wasn't feeling it and sold it. I love my ACS1, especially since the updates.

Ok hold up. If you own an Apollo twin you don’t need to buy another UA device. For way less you can buy any number of input devices that have an ADAT output and can link to the Apollo for cheap. I use the Behringer ada8200 but I don’t recommend it. The preamps are.. fine. But Behringer as a company deeply sucks and supporting them isn’t the move. A little bit of googling will find you an option that will get you 10+ inputs to your twin for cheap.

You're really running W+D/D and W+D/D/W+D. Your wet isn't 100% wet. You've still got dry mixed in with your wet signal(s) on both setups. It sounds terrific, but that's not the full benefit of the W/D and W/D/W setup.

For my wet to be 100% wet I would need my reverb and my delay in parallel. Having them both (or even just the delay) at 100% wet would cause an awkward amount of pre delay on the reverb and / or loss my repeats in a full wet reverb.

The first section showcases wet / dry with two inputs coming from two “amps” (the left snd right amp channels in the acs1) but at 15 minutes we change our configuration to stereo wet effects and add an input. From there on out it’s 3 channels coming from two “amps” to the interface. One amp sends a mono dry signal and the other amp sends to stereo wet effects. 3 channel wet dry wet.

I'm really struggling with this issue. Would you please share some idea? That will be really helpful. Thank you in advance.

Thanks for this. It looks like I might be able to try WDW through my Focusrite 4i4 if the Pinstripe will support the line level into the 3rd non gain input, however, if I want to record WDW, might I just as easily record just WD and duplicate the wet channel in my DAW for panning? Or am I missing something here?

Hey Howard! The DISO+ outputs whatever level you send into it. If you want to record stereo FX, it might work out better to send your Dry signal into input 3 or 4 and the stereo FX into 1 and 2 because of gain staging/noise. You certainly could just record W/D, duplicate W and pan the FX channels, but it may not sound as stereo-y as you might want it to. It would certainly be worth experimenting with. Best regards!

Hi Mark/Anyone...how about if you want to use a tube amp without an FX loop for a W/D/W for live use (not recording) and in a small venue. If you're ultimate output for the wets is through a stereo power amp (solid state) and guitar cabs, do you need a reactive load or is a direct/iso box a more effective compact/pedalboard friendly solution?

I'm new to all this fancy-fied wet/dry business myself but I'll share what I know in hopes of clarifying the situation for you. The speaker cabs put a load on your amplifier head. If you are using speaker cabs then you don't need any reactive load device. If you're amplifier is not being loaded down by a cab then you need to use some kind of reactive load box or you could damage your amp. Hope this helps.
