I kinda owe this to the group following my thread about dummy loads, my Rivera, JC120s, etc. FWIW - I took dt's (and others) advice, and got my Rivera in my setup *without* using a dummy load + line out. Here's how it looks now. Impressions, comments, ideas are always welcome: Strat w/ GK2a synth pickup -> Roland GR-1 GR-1 Guitar Out -> Volume Pedal -> Wah -> Rivera Preamp Rivera FX Loop Send -> Chorus -> Delay -> Roland GR-1 Guitar Return GR-1 Synth/Guitar Mix Out (L) -> EDP1 -> Vortex (L) -> BBE (L) -> Rivera FX Loop Return GR-1 Synth/Guitar Mix Out (R) -> EDP2 -> Vortex (R) -> BBE (R) -> JC120 The Rivera is hooked up to it's 4x12, no dummy load or attenuation. Thanks again for the advice. I *love* my Knucklehead! Many thanks to Bill Walker for selling me his GR-1! Love it. I can run the EDPs linked for stereo operation, or unlink them and get 2 different loops playing against each other, through both amps. ----- Original Message ----- From: "M.
