@rd2rk lol, okay okay! :) Thanks for putting my mind to rest! Hope you have a great evening!

@rd2rk Yeah, I think I agree with your assessment, thanks for helping me think this through! The only other "knot" in my setup is that I don't actually have separate instruments, but rather it's Guitar > Compressor > EHX HOG2 |> Dry Output @ 150 ohms > HXStomp L input > Path A |> Stereo FX Block Out (Insert Cable to additional effects for Dry & Wet Signals) |> Wet Output @ 60 ohms > HXStomp R input > Path B |^ Given that I'm using the EHX HOG2 to split my signal, I'm uncertain if this could introduce something like crosstalk (although admittedly that's a question for EHX). It's important to me that these signals are more or less completely independent for my purposes since the HOG2 split gives me "two" instruments, a guitar signal (dry HOG2 output) and a Hammon B3 organ sound (wet HOG2 output + rotary speaker pedal in the HXStomp FX Loop), and I often like to change the volume/mute one signal or the other (but again, I realize that might be out of the scope of these forums). Thanks again for all your help!

@rd2rk Thanks for the swift response! Most of my knowledge comes from this FAQ page by SaturnWorks, relevant part quoted below: EDIT: Perhaps this is more relevant to combining two signals, and not splitting one signal. Still, I'm a bit uncertain and hoping to both learn more and make sure my rig setup takes into account these kinds of things if necessary, since it's a bit unconventional.

I recently learned about "crosstalk," where a split signal can have "bleed over" effects (changing the volume on one signal will also decrease the other, vice versa). If I'm using my HXStomp with two distinct inputs, immediately splitting to two different paths inside the HXStomp, and also using the FX loop, is this something I have to worry about? I wonder this because the stereo FX Loop out is a TRS, so I'm having to use a TRS > TS TS Y cable, which I believe can introduce crosstalk. I know there are companies like SaturnWorks that make active splitter boxes, but I'm wondering if one of those would be necessary to avoid crosstalk or if the HXStomp somehow manages this. My simplified path is Instrument A > L input > A path |> FX Loop Block |> Tip of TRS to TS/TS split cable > Instrument A effect pedal > L FX Input |> Mixer Block > Reverb & Compression Blocks > Output Block Instrument B > R input > B path |^ |> Ring of TRS to TS/TS split cable > Instrument B effect pedal > R FX Input |^ I use both L and R output jacks to connect to my FRFR speaker. I use an expression pedal to "mute" one channel or the other (via the volume of one of the HXStomp blocks), although they often play at the same time as well. If I need to provide more details, please let me know. Thanks for any help you guys can provide!
