Re: D-tar solstice effects loop

[Louie Angulo <louie.angulo@googlemail.com>]

Bill what would then be the advantage of using the D-tar to a small mini mixer like the compact Tapco blend which has 2 aux sends and returns? rack mounting perhaps?
the only thing the mixer doesnt have is the mid EQ,no really neccesary if u are using an FX proccessor with EQ capabilities
cheers

Ok maybe I was a bit cranky on my last post.  I run my Fireworx  on the two channel inserts  of my Solstice pre amp and my LP-1 in mono on the master send and return,so that I can capture any of the effects processing on my looper, and have a master blender between the direct sound and the loop sound. you will need to use trs stereo to 1/4 inch Y cables for the inserts to connect both channels to your effect .  Because the Fireworx is XLR, I had to have a pair of cables made. This routing scheme is mono so any panning effects will sound like deep tremolo and any stereo delays will be summed to mono. You can also run your stereo looper in the inserts and run your effect in the master effects loop if you like to do post processing of your loops,and you can always run the unused output from your effect and or looper direct to the mixer /stereo powered speakers.  There are ways to stereo-ize the output from your Dtar by either running in to your stereo looper at that point or in to your stereo effect at that point or both.
