I have a rack mount with a Stewart Amp, a ProFex2,
and Revelation But I don't have the wires in the back hooked up right. I was hopping someone can help me out with wiring layout. I don't want to blow something. Any help would be great. Thanks

How do you run it?
I'd run
Guitar-pedal-Rev-ProFex-Stewart.
As long as you don't try to run to anything other than speakers out of the Stewart, you won't harm anything...

The ProFex doesn't offer the "parallel" routing needed for the Rev's rear loop IF you want more than just one effect, reverb or delay.

If you just want reverb, you can do it, but you have to set the Profex at 100% effect with no dry guitar signal coming thru. Then the Rev's FX knob blends the reverb in along with it.

If you put the ProFex after the Rev, I'm afraid that the Rev's output level may be too strong for the ProFex, but you could always turn the Rev's master knob down and then crank up the Profex outputs to drive the Stewart.

In my opinion, it's not the best combination. The ProFex has very dated 16bit conversion based on old '90s digital technology. They do have adequate effects and it's easy to program, but it's just not the highest quality signal once it passes thru the ProFex. On the other hand, the Revelation is a very expensive an high-quality, audiophile tube signal path. I'd be more inclined to use a TC M-One in the Rev's rear loop, set it up for delay & reverb, and use the Rev's FX knob. This way you get the best out of the Rev.

But I agree, probably the best way to use the ProFex with it would be to come out of the Rev's output (pick either left or right) and go into the ProFex, then into the Stewart. That should work...
