In this video Daniel and Mick begin by discussing stereo reverbs and delays – they sound totally massive and wonderful if you have the environment to enjoy them to the full.

They then move on to discuss the benefits and drawbacks of a full stereo rig, talking about signal routing and stage practicalities, before moving on to a simpler approach to massive sounds: the Wet/Dry rig.

Here are some interesting bits and references from today’s vid…

• How do you use stereo effects pedals into two amps? 9:27

• How does Andy Timmons run his stereo effects? 10:20
Here's a link to a diagram to help explain a classic stereo effect in dual amp loop set up - http://i130.photobucket.com/albums/p280/TheGigPig/image_zpsrzzriqhk.jpeg

• How does Rabea Massaad set up his stereo effects, and what are the kinds of problems might you encounter when using effects loops / stereo pedals into two amps? 11:43

• Not all loops are equal… 14:35

• Why Dan prefers wet/dry instead of stereo, plus demos/sound examples from the wet/dry rig 15:44

• Loop / signal routing explanation for today’s wet/dry rig 18:45
