Yeah, I totally dig Living Colour.
Back to the OP, it will be much easier to just get an multi fx unit, it may cost a little more up front, but will save worlds of headaches trying to find the one bad cable before a gig.

-but the Guitar solos are like when a kid learn to sweep pick furiously for the first time, his rig rundown is amazingly over complicated

Thats a fair critique of some of those solos, but there is a nervous energy there that really seems to fit the songs for me.
To most of us, that rig is nutso, but there is only one person on Earth qualified to determine whether its the right rig for Vernon Reid.
As for the Spandex, is was MTV in 1988. Lol.“For me, when everything goes wrong – that’s when adventure starts.” Yvonne Chouinard

Guitar to splitter, splitter to Chain #1 and Chain #2
Chain #1 - dirty
Chain #2 - clean with FX
Both Chains' outputs to a "combiner"... is this a thing? What's it actually called?
"Combiner" to amp
I really want to get something like this going, and am debating some of these things. Are there pros and cons to digital vs analog? How do you arrange FX - like do you want 2 wahs, 2 compressors, etc or are some effects just "Master FX"?
Just some thoughts, and I welcome any opinions and experiences with parallel signal chains!
As always, decide what sound you want and work backwards from that because wanting to do something complex for the sake of doing something different is usually a recipe for frustration and disappointment.

Yes, "in the box" is much easier to deal with, and you can run through various routing possibilities very quickly.Administrator of the SDUGF

The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

If you modded this and moved the loops south of the output -this would be perfect and include a master OD and buffer and switcher function, with a tuner loop.
