An unconventional way to hook up the VoiceLive 2 .......

In our band situation, our guitar player is on the opposite side of the stage from me. I play Bass. In order to get the harmonies from his guitar, i would have to run a long cable from his guitar (20ft min) hooked into the guitar input of the VL2, then run another long cable back into his pedal board. He had a slight problem with this due to his concern of signal loss, etc.

Seeing how he plays a clean rhythm 99% of the time, I decided to try this:
He mics his amp, and it goes into a channel on the board.
On the mixer, I routed his signal to the Mains, as well as an open subgroup (We use the Presonus Studio Live 16.4.2)
Out of the subgroup, I connect the cable to the Guitar input of the VL2.  I then put a dummy 1/4 plug into the Guitar output since I do not want to process any guitar through the VL2.

When we tested this before a gig, it worked very well.  The true test came when i tried this at a gig. Stage noise, etc. was a concern.

After 3 gigs with this scenario, I must say ... It is working flawlessly.  The harmonies are right on 100% of the time.

Just thought I'd share this weird wiring setup with you all.

All the best,
Peter
