Stereo-ized...

Hi Dave
(and anyone else that wants to chime in)

What's you're experience with folks going stereo... if/when someone does
- do they tend to break the signal before the preamp / amp or on the return?
- if before the amp, then do they tend to use the same (type) amp for left right or mix and match?

- when recording do folks tend to print stereo delays (and/or other stereo effects) or do they tend to go dry, let the engineer/producer have their wicked way... and then try to reproduce the effect somewhat in a live setting?

- or do most folks just go for a great mono-sound and leave it for the engineer to decide what to do?
- any differences between primarily live vs studio players' rigs?

inquiring minds wanna know...
Thanks!

So, I have a Helix rack, and a Pink Taco, and a Mini Shirley. Both preamps (PT and DSM) are in a loop in the Helix, and then the outputs of the Helix are into the loop returns of the two heads, each of which goes to a 1x12. The Shirley preamp is set lower gain, PT is set for a little more raunch. The Helix can do FX & switching which the bulk of the tone is all Friedman.

But, this setup is just to jam. Recording I tend to do dry and add FX later.

are you using the Helix just for the fx loop effects and/or using 4cm (or would that be 7cm) for a pre-post setup?

Its kinda like two separate 4CM setups, one with the PT and one with the DSM.
