Please help plan my dual use guitar and bass rig!

So I am trying to make a dual purpose board with my bass pedalboard and my guitar amp. I have a mc6pro, ml10x. The main reason I want to get both of these things going together is that I have an eventide H90. This pedal is great so powerful I would love to use it for both things.

The problem is I just cannot seem to make a plan that makes sense to me.
Nothing is is stereo, both amp and preamp (bass) will run into seperate channels on DAW.
I understand how to program it all and control it all I just need to get the cables making sense.

I can make/buy splitter cables where needed.

Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Hi,
‘dual purpose’ meaning you don’t want to run both amps at the same time?
If so just treat the preamps like another drive pedal. I’m assuming your bass pre has an fx loop? Connect ml10x send to amp input and fx send to ml10x return. Use the main outs of the ml10x as send to the amps fx return.
This would allow you to run the amps separatly or in parallel (as if it was stereo), It would even be possible to run one of the preamps into both power amp sections. You’d also have the possibility to run your H90 in pre/post or stereo in post.

Hey mate cheers for reply,

No not at the same time. The guitar section would just need the amp (g20) and the H90. The bass section uses the Capo preamp as the (amp) with all of the rest of the gear.

The capo has 2 loops pre and post.

What i cant see is how the H90 is able to run in the effects loops of both the Capo and the G20?

I am sorry if i am missing something i really am trying hard my brain seems to block this stuff a bit.

That’s why the ml10x is a really great unit. It’s possible to route the connections between loops freely. You can practically reorder your signal chain, set up splits and merges etc. without changing the physical connections. If you connect your preamps like I’ve suggested it’s possible to change the active preamp by simply turning off one loop and engage the other. Just hook up the H90 pre to a loop, H90 post to another, bass pre to a third and guitar pre to a fourth. You will then be able to move the loops within the signal chain.
