ultralink

[Patrick EL MELIANI <patrick.elmeliani@wanadoo.fr>]

Hi everybody , I'm new to the list and I want to share a trick from my" looping station" , and please excuse my english.

I use the berhinger ultralink to plug all my equipment and rout the signal like I want .maybe some of you have heard about the ultralink , it's a very interresting product : it's a mixer and a splitter . it has a stereo input and output , and 6 channels you can set like a mixer or a splitter.

here's my setup: the original signal come from the send (fx loop )of my preamp and goes to the left input of the stereo input of the ultralink , from the 6th channel as a splitter , it goes to a DD20 then return ( only the delayed signal )  in the right input of the stereo input of the ultralink , then it goes from the first and 2nd channels as a splitter to two differents effects who return in channels 3 and 4 as a mixer , so I can send to the effects the dry or the wet or both signal from the stereo input ( each channel has a panpot so you can choose what signal you want to split from the stereo input ) , channels 3 and 4 are mixed and go back to my preamp by the left output of the ultralink but I send from the right output this signal also to a second delay who is return in the channel 5 as a mixer ( delayed signal only ).

Like this I can loop a clean signal from my preamp , I can send the wet or dry signal in any effect ( I can have my inst in effect A and my delayed signal in effect B )

all is going back to my amp and I can loop a signal from the 2 effects in my second delay then send it back to my preamp too!

The sound is very good no noise buzz etc at all , the ultralink is  very transparent and noiseless . trust me

so if you have problems to find a good setup ( noise , -10 +4 db conversion , or other ) try this !

enjoy
