The Red Sea gives you the ability to run a FULL Stereo wet dry wet rig using only 2 amps or just 2 signals to the FOH, while also giving you complete control over your Wet & Dry mix! The Red Sea also has two independent stereo FX loops.

Red Sea. Use the Right Input for a mono signal going in to the Red Sea. Your input signal will be copied, split, and sent to all four send jacks (1 thru 4). The input signal can be anything, guitar, drive pedal, eq pedal, or any other mono signal source.

The signal flowing through the return jacks on the right side (Return 1 & 2) will leave on the Right Output of the Red Sea. The same will apply for the signals flowing through the return jacks on the left side (Return 3 & 4), these signals will leave on the Left Output of the Red Sea.

There is one exception to the signal flow in the Return jacks when using the Red Sea in a Wet Dry or Wet Dry Wet setup. When you remove the patch cable from the Return 4 jack, the Red Sea will re-route the signal from the Return 2 jack to both Left and Right Outputs.

Hopefully by now you can see how your signal will flow in and out of the Red Sea. Later in the manual we will provide various wiring diagrams for different routing options, however using the knowledge above you should be able to create your own unique routing configurations.

Operating the Red Sea Using the Blend Knob The Blend knob can be used to blend the volume/mix between two parallel effects loops. For instance you want to run your reverb and delay in parallel which will allows for your wet effects to not interact with each other.

With the Red Sea we fix these issues with our two polarity switches, each switch will invert the polarity for Return Jack 1 & 3 respectively. This will ensure both stereo loops will remain in phase...

***If you are experiencing any of the two issues listed above, flip both polarity switches either up or down while listening to your tone change as you flip the switches. ...

There will be some draw backs to using this method, which were mentioned above (loss of bass and volume), however the Red Sea can limit the effectiveness of these draw backs. Since we have two stereo loops, or a Wet and Dry loop, your signal will remain in tact in one loop and inverted in the other loop.
