EC,
I'm still experimenting with what to use, and in what signal path. The Speaker Cranker, I'll use right in the front just like you would an old vintage amp without an effects loop and that is for the MP-1 Classic, and MP-2. With the MP-1, and 3TM, I'm still goofing around between the front and the loop. I'm undecided where I think it sounds better at this point. As soon as I can, I'll try to get some pics of my rigs in the studio, but I'll give you a basic idea how I'm setting things up now.
I'm modeling the signal paths of this rig after Eric Johnson's rig setup, i.e. signal paths split up via A/B switches to 3 different rigs. I don't have A/B switches, I have A/B/Y switches, and the rigs are as follows:
Rig 1, The Fender Amps with their own dedicated effects and a Leslie Model 760 with one A/B/Y switch to take the Leslie out when I don't need it. The Fenders is where I mostly use the stomp boxes.
Rig 2, The MP-1 Classic, Microtube 200, and it's own dedicated rack effects processor, (for now), and Split-Stack Cabs.
Rig 3, The MP-2, Microtube 200, and its own dedicated rack effects processor, and another set of Split-Stack Cabs.
I'm also gearing up my Monster rack with an original MP-1 and 3TM, with their own dedicated ADA rack effects in each, to swap out rigs 2 & 3 mentioned above. I may use Microtube 200's or B-200S's for this rack, but they will still feed the Split-Stack Cabs either way.
From the Guitar, no matter which configuration I use, It will be the guitar> ADA Flanger Pedal(optional)>Wah>Speaker Cranker> A/B/Y switch>A/B/Y switch> to the Amplifiers.
Sound confusing? It really isn't. It actually gives me a better sound when the rigs are all dialed in with each other
