Another "HELP WITH MY RACK!" Thread

[SLAM_Bass]

Hey TB'ers:

So I recently came into a bunch of rack gear and am wondering if anyone could help me out a bit with the signal path? I've been searching on TB for a few hours and can't seem to find what I'm looking for and getting pretty frustrated. Gear is as follows:

BBE Bmax Pre-amp (Solid State)
DBX 215 EQ
Korg DTR 2000
Carvin HD 1000 power amp
Monster Power Pro 2500 power conditioner
Avatar 4x10 cab

Is there a way to configure this setup for a "dry/wet" setup where I can have the dry signal running constantly and blend in any effects? Both the EQ and the power amp contain 2 channels.

From what I've found so far, I think the signal chain should go:

Bass > BBE > Korg > EQ > Power Amp

Or is there a better way to go about this? I'm mostly concerned about getting the most out of my recent acquisitions and taking full advantage of the possibilities this equipment presents while producing a killer tone.


Finally, the power amp has a "bridge" option, my understanding is that this combines both channels into one to produce a bigger load to the cabinet, but what's the advantage of doing so?


Thanks for any help in advance!

Split at the EQ CH A goes directly to the Poweramp.

Ch B goes to the Korg then to the Power Amp

REwire the Avatar Cab to two speakers per input left and right. That will probably be parallel 8ohmers making it 4 Ohms per side. [Jack Left Positive to Left Speaker 1 Positive to Left Speaker 2 Positive, Negavite to Left Speaker 1 Negative then to Left speaker 2 negative. Same with Right side]

Carvin will be running 500W per side/two deivers. Careful to not crater your speakers. Specs on B410 look ok open it up.

Only 280W per side for two channels into 4 ohms, sez the spec sheet.
