Maybe some of you have experience with this. I want to place my Roland SRE-555 tape delay after my amp, the amp in question has a line out that can either be line or instrument level. For those not familiar, this supposedly maximizes your amp tone by not coloring your amp with delay through the preamp and power section, or just the power section if you're using a built in effects loop. Basically to sound close to the way they'd do it in the studio (in most situations). A couple of scenarios have popped up to get this done. And if any of you can chime in with opinions that'd be great.
1.)Guitar--->Amp/Dry speaker cab--->Amp Line out--->delay--->power amp--->wet speaker cab.
2.)Guitar--->Amp/Dry cab--->Speaker simulator (Motherload/SEII)--->Delay in effects Loop of speaker sim--->FOH
Now for the reasons why I'm asking you: I play a stereo setup...two different pickups, two different amps, same guitar (sound familiar?) and am wondering if doing it this way might cause phase issues (w/the power amp scenario) or if there is anything else I should foresee to cause problems before I purchase either a speaker simulator or power amp. I also am not very familiar with power amps and would like any suggestions if I go this route. Preferably a power amp with tubes that would either color the sound great or not at all. The wet effect would just be on one side of the amp chain since I don't know how to go about it being on both.

2Not gonna happen.
The power-amp-to-speaker-cab signal is too hot for guitar cables, let alone any electronic devices designed to handle line-level signals at most.
If you're worried about phase in a wet/dry setup, just run the wet side 100% wet and air-mix it.

3Sorry I'm confused, maybe I'm under the assumption that a power amp, like say a Mesa 50/50 is designed to run a speaker cab. The first amp my signal hits is a THD Univalve, which has a line out that runs either instrument level or line level. Then, from the line out on the Univalve to the delay, then to the power amp, then to the wet speaker cab. Of course the power amp to speaker cab would have speaker cables...so like I said, I'm new to power amps why wouldn't this work. Sorry I'm just trying to figure this out. Thanks
