Left of the Rhino is a zvex box of rock... the G-system main out goes to a abcadabra midi a/b box- the g system sends midi to it and per patch i can pick the a or b out on the abcadabra. A goes to the Divided By 13, B goes to the Komet/4-12" The third amp is fed off the right channel G System out... per patch i can mix it in anywhere from -100db to 0db (full on). Which I just got happening yesterday, and it's amazing. I blend it with the /13 on cleans on a few patches mixed around -30db, and on solos I have it all the way up. The amp is on a Hotplate set at -4db.
The box beside the tuner is a custom a/b built by Dave Friedman that is awesome- A goes to the rest of the pedalboard and my electric rig, B is a d.i. for my acoustic rig and my Les Paul with powerbridge (quasi-acoustic sound)... so I can use one wireless pack and just switch from guitar to guitar using the same rig and do everything I need to do.
The a/b/c outs on the board are all isolated so I have no ground loops.
It's an ultra slutty but simple and awesome rig! I'm so happy with it!

the amps are cranked pretty high- on the main Komet I am using the airbrake down one click in rehearsal, and on Komet#2 I'm using a hotplate at -4... this amp just gets blended in as I need it.. but both of them full on is pretty deafaning, even attenuated! I like having the power though- I can continuously vary the 3rd amp per patch- it gets its feed directly from one of the main outs on the g-system, and the other two main amps are fed from the abcadabra midi a/b box (which is being fed from the other main out on the G-system).
Does that make sense? it's sort of hard to explain clearly.. but it works great.
the OD boxes are just for dirt on top of the dirt that the amps are providing.. I'm using the Concorde in fast mode, volume around 5, it's pretty crunchy up that high.
I could use the amps totally unattenuated, especially if I go on in-ears (which I may do), but man it's pretty loud as it is. Like, my ears are ringing LOUDLY right now. That'll calm down once we are out on the road and not doing 6 hr rehearsals but, still... why bother, the p.a. is there to do the hard work....
