RC-300 amplifiers connections

Post by JonX »

Hi guys,

I'm a keyboard player, and also a bass player.
I'm thinking of getting the RC-300 loop station, and I really want to combine both my instruments plus microphone for vocals.

I have a little problem though: I have no knowledge of how to connect the loop station to both instruments and still using their amplifiers (Roland KC-60 and Fender Rumble 15), is that even possible?

Any guidance or idea would be welcomed...

thanks!

Hi

Solution 1
Two mixers, two pa speakers.

Place two mics in front of your amplifiers and connect them into a little mixer (something like the Behringer XENYX 802).
Connect the voice mic into the mixer too.

Go out from the mixer main out into the RC 300.
Then go out from RC 300 into the second mixer with the PA speakers.

Solution 2
One mixer with aux sends and separate levels per track, two pa speakers.

Place two mics in front of your amplifiers and connect them into a mixer (something like the Behringer Xenyx X1622).
Tune down the volume level of the tracks and turn up the aux send levels.
Connect the aux send to the RC 300 aux or instrument input.
Connect the RC 300 main out to the mixer, and on this track (or two tracks) turn down the aux level and turn up the volume.
Connect the main out of the mixer to the speakers.

I know it sounds complicated...
this is a schema of the second setup:
