Stereo Effecting

Re: Stereo Effecting

I have a pair of sansamp type pedals
One a Fenderish thing
One is a Marshallish thing

I use a Morley ABY switch to send a guitar signal to either of these or both
These pedals then feed into a stereo reverb
Then into separate powered PA speakers
When playing just one
the reverb washes over the other speaker

When playing both it sounds huge
I have tried delay on one side and not the other
And some distortions on either one
The distortion overwhelms the clean channel always

Re: Stereo Effecting

I find Stereo to be really fun playing in my house and murderously difficult playing with a band.

It almost sound like you are looking for a mix control more than a stereo setup (as you describe wet/dry). Maybe something like the Boss LS-2 would let you mix two chains of effects, keep them in phase and buffered and deliver them to your mono amp.

One other thing I probably shouldn't tell you.... The big pros that use these types of rigs use Wet/Dry/Wet frequently. Dry signal up the middle with stereo ambience left and right.

Re: Stereo Effecting

Actually, you could accomplish this by using a good stereo effects/amp modeller like a Fractal AX8, and go direct to the PA (I do this). I still think stereo is difficult live, as you kinda have to sit in the middle of the room to hear it well. But if you were going to spend money on a JC-120 and all those cables and routers, you might get something that is more elegant and easier to carry.
