If you guys get a chance, check out my question on the Rickenbacker forum comments about Geddy Lee. I'm curious how people feel about this subject. I know that it doesn't make a difference what we think about what bass he plays, but who knows.

For Ric-o-sound guitar players (I just got a new 360/6 LH 3 weeks ago) what kind of amp set up do you use? Do you use a twin channel, twin speaker stereo amp, or two separate amps? I've got a Marshall MG100DFX amp that I just bought. I like it a lot for the price and it meets my needs, since I'm not doing huge shows I don't need a half stack or anything. If I wanted to run the Ric-o-sound, I know I'd have to get one of these boxes you're talking about. What would I do from there? Go out and buy another Marshall combo amp set it next to the other one? Start over, spend more money and get a stereo amp?

With the Ric-o-sound does it split the channel between each of the pickups?

Sorry if these are bonehead questions...I'm just exploring options for my new set up.

As I stated above, I've had some dumb questions. Heck, I've owned my Rick for 20 years and I'm just learning about how to properly use the ROS. I'm using 2 amps. It splits the bass and treble pickups. You could use 1 amp with 2 channels. Either will work. I like the sound of 2 amps. I picked up a stereo cord last night. I tried 1 amp with both channels, and then 2 amps. I liked the definition I had with two amps. However, that is with a bass, not a guitar.

So, does anyone have any experience using ROS with a 360/6 going into each of the two channels of a Marshall MKII Super Lead half stack? In other words, right now I bridge channel one and two and blend the volumes from both channels. The channels share tone and presence controls, but each has its own volume control. There is no "Master Volume" on these dinosaurs. If I use a ROS box, I assume I would no longer want to bridge the two channels at the head, and instead use the ROS to go into each channel separately. I'm looking for the voice of experience here. This a 30-year-old Marshall Model 1959.

If this counts for anything I used to do that with a 4001 stereo into a two channel SVT. You have bassy channel and a trebly channel in your Marshall right? I used to do exactly what you do with a Marshall Major way back (it would be 35 YO if I still had it) with a mono P bass. You will get a different sound with ric-o-sound than you get now, now you have both PU's in each channel, with ric-o-sound you'll have one in each. Try it see which way you like it best, but yes you would plug each mono plug into it's own channel and not bridge them.

I run my 4003's mono into my Ampeg SVP-Pro preamp then feed one output from the preamp into one channel of my poweramp which feeds 2 15's. I then run the other preamp output to a Tube Works Blue Tube overdrive unit......it's output then goes to the other channel of my poweramp that feeds a 2x10 cabinet. It's a wiring mess but gives me a solid slightly overdriven tone.
