Trusted Shops I have an Allston Combo and a Tremulator made by Rob Lohr ofAllston Amps in Boston. The Allston Combo is a clean platform amp with a Master Volume that allows you dial in clean to overdriven sounds with Reverb. The Tremulator is a clean platform amp with Tremolo and Reverb with no master volume. Both amps are around 45w of great tone. I’ll start with the brands that just missed out - Ohmless Pedals, Rodenberg Amplification, Valhbruch Effects and Weehbo - the last two mentioned in particular - both of which have excellent ranges of pedals, but I felt that my final selection Top 9 just about pipped them. That said, the Vahlbruch Octavia is probably my next likely acquisition, although the Nobels ODR-1 has been on the list for a while too. Also take a second look at your cables. Is everything connected correctly? Always follow the flow of the signal. Read my post “ How to trouble shoot“

When I reply to customers I always use very simple examples, I ask them to imagine how the inside of the SGoS pedal works. As mentioned there’s a lot electronic stuff you are using and they all do something with your signal. So it can happen that you have 2 signals which differ in their phase, but there’s a little chance they are exactly 180° flipped in their phase. You only can choose between dizzy and great, even it isn’t exactly 180° mathematically. You compare your beloved straight-to-the-amp guitar signal to the signal sent through the board and you feel like all the money you spent into your board is blown away. No treble, the amp doesn’t respond the same and your gear’s muffled. So what could we do? A good way to start with, is the usage of a LEHLE P-SPLIT II or a LEHLE LITTLE DUAL. You can send in your signal and take two signals out. While one output is (and has to be always) grounded, the other output is the isolated one. There’s a built-in transformer, which lifts the ground and isolates the “hot“ audio signal via galvanic isolation. “I have a stereo setup!“ The LEHLE LITTLE DUAL II is the successor to the Lehle Little Dual and is a maximum signal-fidelity amp switcher for two amps. By using the soft-touch switches you can switch between two connected amplifiers hum-free and without sound loss.If you release the foot switch straight after the first time the left LED flashed, the device will receive only at channel 1. If you release after the middle LED flashed, the device is set to channel 2. I hope you can count up to 16, because you probably need to. So what does a buffer do? It has a very high input impedance and a very low output impedance. Take a look at our SUNDAY DRIVER or SUNDAY DRIVER SW. It has an input impedance of 1 MOhm (switchable to 4 MOhm) and an output impedance of 150 Ohm. Although there are slight differences in the modes and midi numbers, the examples I give you here work for all the SGoS pedals ( D.LOOP SGoS, DUAL SGoS, 1at3 SGoS and 3at1 SGoS): “How can I remotely control my LEHLE SGoS pedal?“ One of Germany's better known pedal-builders with a really substantial range of 14 Overdrive and Distortion Pedals - all excellent. I've come across these pedals quite a lot, but they're not really much in distribution in the UK (actually only at SoundsGreatMusic.com), so my exposure has been fairly limited. These are some very impressive compact and horizontal medium-enclosure pedals - most of which are well reviewed and really well built - all the compact pedals have 3-Band EQ, while the larger formats have a mix of amp-style, dual-channel-tone and 3-band EQ. I really need to audition a few more of these.

Since you connected the grounds of both the amps on the audio side, we created a “loop of grounds“ (the amps do have already a ground connection on/at the wall plugs). The ground connection through the third prong of the power cables and the shields of the audio cables are building a big loop, which work as an antenna for any kind of electromagnetic interference. The biggest interference is always the 50 or 60 Hz cycle hum from the net, which sounds like a deep hum. For louder gigs, using both amps with the Little Lehle provides a bigger sound without getting into painful volume levels. Having twoseparate 12-inch speakers in separate amps working at 45w each, gives me a much bigger sound without the need for ear plugs if in close proximity to the speaker. In addition, I find that my playing in this configuration is a little more consistent. This might be because the sound is very familiar, since I play the lower power amps regularly at home when I am practicing. But we don’t need maths for pedals, but only our hearing. Some of the LEHLE pedals have a phase switch. ( P-SPLIT II, LITTLE DUAL, DUAL SGoS)A: With these controls you can balance the volumes of the 2 amps to create a mix-sound as soon as A and B are active at the same time. Without these controls the Y-sound would probably be too loud, so this is a very helpful feature. A: Absolutely! The switcher works passively and can handle all kinds of audio signals without distortion or loss, for weaker piezo signals as well as stronger line level signals. And I guess this is also the result of this excursion into Dual Amping, Stereo, Phasing and its challenges: trust your ears.

It has two switches, one for toggling between A and B outputs, and one for selecting both A and B outputs at once. It also features a tuner out that can be used in the standard fashion, or as a separate effects send to another pedal or pedals. Handy LEDs indicate which switch is activated. With its convenient size and very economical price point, the EHX Switchblade Plus is great for the guitarist on a budget that regularly needs to have several signal chains going at once. These signals can be operated either in alternation or in parallel - without hum, and without sound losses, needless to say. The LEHLE LITTLE DUAL II - small, but so utterly effective! Key Features The Lehle Little Dual II is the successor to the Lehle Little Dual and is a maximum signal-fidelity amp switcher for two amps. By using the soft-touch switches you can switch between two connected amplifiers hum-free and without sound loss. Gear nerds can definitely lust after a Lehle. As I mentioned, the company is a true innovator in the switching world, with brilliant designs that integrate amp switching, effects loops, MIDI, and all sorts of other wonderful things, but they also make a relatively basic and very robust ABY called the Little Dual.A: No, neither sound nor dynamics will be altered, the signal is passing the switcher without any loss in strength or frequency. We use our self-developed Lehle LTHZ transformers for this, the selection of high quality components guarantees a rich sound throughout the full frequency range. The easy-action mushroom-shaped button characteristic of LEHLE products is mounted in the cover so that your foot pressure is transmitted indirectly via a spring. Thus the circuit board is not exposed to mechanical loads, making the Little Lehle III virtually indestructible and guaranteeing years of trouble-free switching. In case the signal coming out of one amp is out of phase (meaning it starts not with a positive, but a negative amplitude), you simply can press the phase button at the LEHLE pedal and the phase is flipped by 180°. Now both signals are starting in the same direction (depending if you flipped the positive or negative one). “Dizzzzzzy“ Press and hold all three foot switches. The LEDs will flash and one LED will remain. If it’s the left one you’re in mode 1, if it’s the middle one it’s mode 2 and the right LED means mode 3. The DUAL SGoS has a fourth mode which is displayed by the left and middle LEDs. Your guitar has an output impedance of about 10 kOhm. An amplifier has an input impedance of about 1 MOhm.
