Some feedback required

What's Hot

Hi all,
I wonder if you could give me some feedback on this particular setup

So guitar goes into the input of the G-system
4 loops with various OD/Dist pedals
The 5th G-system loop goes into the input of the Egnator Pre-amp
From the Egnator Send I go into a little box which splits the signal, one going into the G-system Return the other going into a small Fender Pro Jnr (Dry). Do to the hot signal coming out of the Egnator pre I need to attenuate this down (500K pot?) or do I go into the middle lug of the pot, with one side going to the G-System the other to the Fender (more like a blend knob). Also should I put a buffer before the splitter box or will the pre-amp have buffered the signal enough?
One of the outputs goes to the Egnator Return the other to potentially another amp (future proofing for Wet/Dry/Wet).

I'm taking the G-system and pedals out the rack and putting it all on the floor (there will be other things before the G-system such as fuzz/octavia/Uni-vibe and Wha.

Any observations? Am I likely to get loads of hum?
There are a couple of pains with the G-system and Egnator
a) The loops are buffered so useless for the fuzz and octavia
b) The volume on the Egnator is pre-FX loop so the output is too hot for the Fender Jnr Pro. which does not have it's own FX loop.

    What are you trying to achieve? What's the concept behind going to the fender from the egnator send? What's your current setup?

    The idea is to have a dry only going to the fender but with all the ODs. The Egnator will have the wet signal returned.

    At the moment I only have the egnator in play but have experiment with the Fender as a secondary amp for stereo output.
    Another Idea I have is to have the Egnator as a dry and the G-system outs feeding a mesa 50/50 power amp in stereo.

    Another question .
    Boost in the FX loop. Before or after time/modulation FX.

    Do you want to hear the egnators preamp through the fender? I only ask because it seems an odd combination. If one of those two amps has a basic dry sound that you like to build a base from we can definitely work from there?

    I'm feeling particularly kind today so I've taken your diagram and added a few essential bits for tone.

    Yea, not bad mate but you're missing the curly guitar cables.

    Yep want the Egnator pre-amp going into the fender to add a bit of sparkle.

    Now if the Fender had an FX loop I'd have it in one of the other loops.
    But I like the combination I've had them in Stereo before both wet but want a dry and a wet signal
