Re: 2x12 preamp out to separate 1x12. Is this stereo?
Radial Bigshot AB/Y Splitter. I'm not sure if I'll be able to get what I want out of it but I figure it could be worth a shot. I'll post a small video once I get it working to see what people think. I am going to try leaving my board the way it is with reverb/delay and have the 6l6 amp be wet and the el34 dry. And if I don't like it I'll run both cables through the pedals and see what it sounds like both wet. I mainly practice lead stuff to backing tracks so I am going to have them both on the red or blue channels with the gain dialed back. From what I've read people really admire the blue channel on the 6l6 and the red on the el34, so I may try to get that blend going.
And yeah I'm not sure the manual doesn't say. The dial says "Power Level" and it's supposed to be "post power tube" attenuation. I think it works ok it's just I figured if I dialed it back to 1watt I'd be able to get the volume up to noon but in reality it's more like I can go to between 2-3 instead of between 0-1. I tried my friends hughes and kettner tubemeister at my place once. It had a 1-watt setting and I was able to get that volume to noon. So I figured it'd be more like that.
Radial twin city or bigshot?
Also keep in mind that the difference in 6L6 or el34 is negligible compared to the difference in using 1x12 as opposed to 2x12.
I also wonder if the attenuator in your 5150 is an actual power soak or just a good post-phase inverter master volume.
