hello all..im using a gina by echo with 2 inputs and 8 outs,i use a digitech gsp pro rack that has effect send and return..i want to use my 50 watt randal head which also has effects send and return,my question is can i use my randall amp head and digitech rack together without using my 4 12" cab,i want to get away from miking my amp and run direct but still use the overdrive from my amp...i know its possible..just need a diagram for patching.....fry

From what I could see (this is the GSP-21 Pro?) , you should be able to. In a nutshell, you'd connect the GSP's effect send to your amp's input/effect return and your amp's output/effects send to your GSP's effect return. Then use your GSP's output to the Gina. That should do it.

GSP>Randall
Randall>GSP
GSP>Gina

(I could be, of course, wrong as I'm no expert on this issue.)

HTH,

Hello,

Does you head have a line out jack?
And if so run the line out to the line in on the sound card or the other unit with a line in, then to the sound card. and avoid miking the amp by running it direct, I think that's what you were trying to get at, Right?

As far as the effect sends, you can either use both or one and daisy chain them together, you just series in and out of each unit and end up back at the unit you started at.

See ya, Rockit
