end of effects chain, split to amp and small mixer for headphones.

rusinko · 11-15-2009, 06:27 AM

i want to use headphones to monitor my sound onstage. i used to use a Boss GT-8 with the headphone out, into a small mixer, then use headphones (earbuds) from there.

now i have a pedal board i built. my idea is to use a Morley ABY switch plugged into the end of the effects chain, to split the signal into my amp and my mixer. my amp is a Marshall MG100hdfx, the mixer is a Beheringer Xentx 502 and the last effect in the chain is a Digitech Digidelay.

is this safe? and if so, is this the best, or only way to do this? just checkin' before i spend the money or damage something.

thanks, everyone is always helpful on here.

Lol why did you sell the Gt-8 then? You complicated your life...

i don't think i've complicated my life, well maybe a tiny bit till i get it all together. price you gotta pay to get a sound your happy with. i've seen people go alot farther to get a sound they are happy with. i'm trying to get away from the gt-8. cause i'm tired of tweaking, and tweaking, and doing more tweaking. then when i forget how to tweak (after it sits for awhile), i have to relearn how to tweak again.

besides that, i think it sounds so much better than the gt-8, more punch and in your face sound. and i can make adjustments to my sound on the fly in the middle of a show quickly. without trying to remember what buttons to push, after i have a few beers in me. LOL
