Using two amps.

When you say merge, which of these do you mean?

A: "standard" mono jack -> amp
B: rick-o-sound -> parallel processing -> summing mixer -> amp

I should mention that he wired the jacks so the bridge goes to one jack, the neck to the other. It's more clunky, but doesn't require a TRS cable nor splitter box.
"Rick-O-Sound" into a stereo volume pedal that then sums mono into to the pedalboard vs the split board for each pickup.

Huh? Isn't summing the Rick-O-Sound output the same as mono? I mean, isn't that what the volume control on each pickup does on the usual mono output?

Cool. So, he's mono processing in that case. Makes me think that parallel processing in preamp section is the most important part. Running it all the way into separate power amps and cabinets is probably has less impact.

Yes, that's with the factory wiring. But his friend rewired the jacks to they go to the individual pickups. So he has to sum them externally if he wants mono.

Swap one of the jacks for a switching jack and have best of both worlds. Normal output from both pickups with one cable, dual outputs with two cables. $5 part and 5 minutes' installation.

Ok, I want to use both of these to play through at same time. I ordered a y splitter should be here tomorrow. The big amp is a Ampeg BA 115Hp the little one is a 15 watt Peavy 10" speaker just a basic practice bass amp. Both have three band equalizers. Ampeg has more to it with 6 setting. One being a cleani channel or dry channel. The other five I really am not sure what they are gives me a basic description in the book. I want to use the little one for highs and the big one for Lows. Somebody told me to take all the highs out of the big ones and all of lows out of the little one. My question is the mids. Do I wipe them out of either amp or do I keep them in. As far as some setting in there. Because both sound really good. At the current time I'm using just a box stump lab IB multi-effect. Though I do have a boss OD. I think together they would sound awesome.View attachment 4135958 View attachment 4135959 View attachment 4135958 View attachment 4135958 View attachment 4135959

I forsee a little up peavey in the trash. Poor little guy. Never had chance.
