Thanks for the thoughtful reply.
My rig is non-balanced.
Here's my set up:
Parker Fly Deluxe guitar w/piezo, using stereo output; Acoustic pickup into Fishman Aura preamp, VanAmps Soulmate spring reverb, Morley Little Alligator volume pedal, out to Direct Box.
Fly Electric pickups output to Boss OC3 (octave pedal, to play bass on lower 3 strings); that separately outputs to its own bass channel Direct Box;
Out of the OC3 I use the 2nd "bypass" (direct) line out that goes into a AMT SS-20 tube preamp, to a Visual Sound volume pedal, another VanAmps Reverb, H2O Liquid Sound chorus/delay, out to a Direct Box for my electric guitar sounds. And I do indeed get great dirty sounds, even for worship!
All this goes into 3 channels on the Allen & Heath board, run in stereo. Weird setup but gives me a lot of flexibility to play acoustic and/or electric, with or without bass, using one guitar. As I play in a Trio, flexibility is key.
My pedal boards are already lashed up with George L cables, which I love. The connection I'm asking about here is from the pedal boards to the Direct Boxes. The George L and Analysis Plus instrument cables are expensive, and I'd love to use what I already have.
Thanks again!
