Need help setting up my rig.

[rojo ojor]

i have as follows: Ampeg 810e, little mark II bass head, fender Rt1000, and a rack sans amp. whats the proper sequence or best way to cable these together. i would like to make it where i can use the mute on the tuner and still tune. the little mark II has a tuner out but i cant get it to mute. any help?! Thanks

tuner first, then sansamp, (which is un-necessary), then amp. OR, tuner first, then amp with sansamp in loop.

The tuner is unnecessary too, but that doesn't mean it's not desirable.

You've actually got 3 choices of how to patch your Sansamp. Each one will result in the rig sounding somewhat different so you should at least try each one to see what you prefer. All 3 of these methods would would have your tuner patched first, and then:

1 - Sansamp into the amps front input. (you'd be stacking both preamps with the Sansamp first)

2 - Sansamp patched into your Effects Loop (again you'd be stacking 2 preamps but this time with your LMII first)

3 - Sansamp into your amps Effects Return Jack. (this would bypass the LMII preamp and just be using its poweramp)

I used the first one and cant seem to get the tuner to mute everything when i hit the mute button. sooOo?? thanks for your advice.

Couldn't find a manual online but ad copy says one output is always on, and the other is muted by the mute button. Try the other output?

If you are expecting the tuner to mute it has to be in your signal path. Using just the tuner out will not allow muting.
