The Seco Mojado has two seperate amps (2x 15W 6V6) in one combo enclosure for a wet dry or true stereo experience. The top amps controls function exactly like the regular models except the power switch will also power up the bottom amp but they do have individuel standby switches. The tremolo comes only through the front speaker, the reverb signal only through the side speakers. The reverb signal by itself sounds very thin and unusual but if blended at the right level with the dry amp will make sense again. Be aware that extreme settings can start oscillating. If you also want to mix the dry signal through the side speakers you can do so by connecting the "send" from the effects loop to the auxiliary "in" on the bottom amp, use the auxiliary control to adjust the level. This can give you a more 2x10 type of sound as the two 8" and the one 12" speaker blend. In general the setup with the sidespeakers works well in smaller to mid size rooms where the side speaker's sound can bounce off the walls and mix with the front speaker. This will give a more dimensional spacey sound. Experiment with different positions of the amp in the room> For a more direct sound or a bigger sound in general hook up and extension cabinet to the bottom amps speaker out. same in big room or live situations. Plugging in an extension cabinet will automatically disconect the side speakers. For hooking up external effects through the loop you have a few different choices. Normal between the "send and "return" which will have the effects come out through the front speaker; or between the "send" and the auxiliary "in" of the bottom amp which will have the effects come out through the side or external cabinet if hooked up; or real stereo, the "send" into the effects unit and then one out connected to the loop "return" and the other to the auxiliary "in" on the bottom amp. the sound will be real stereo, of course asuming the effects unit used is stereo, between the front and the side speakers or external speaker cabinet if hooked up. If you are into Leslie/Rotary type of sounds you will find out that this amp setup will sound very close to the real deal. You could also use the bottom amp as a seperate amp by plugging your guitar direct into the auxiliary "in" or through an AB box so you can A B between the main amp and the bottom amp. The sound of the bottom amp is very clean, a bit lifeless because it does not have a real tone and gain shaping preamp but if you hookup a good overdrive/boost/distortion pedal in front then you will get very good results. Hey run your IPod into the auxiliary and jam along.
A combo version of a true wet/dry or stereo experience equally great for studio or live use. Make your Leslie/Rotary simulation effect sound and move air like a real one and have your Echo bounce of walls like you're in Church and hook up your stereo effects to use them stereo or run a overdrive/boost pedal into the auxiliary in for a two amp set up and all in a slightly larger 1x12 combo size.
