Thank you for the information!! This is very helpful, I'm glad that I'm on the right track and this should be doable. To clarify on the amp / cab / IR, I wouldn't have any of these in the HX Stomp blocks because I'm handling both the Amp and IR within the Tonex pedal. I think I understand what you're saying about not having any mono blocks before the stereo chain too. FOLLOWUP QUESTIONS: 1. I'm not 100% I understand what you mean when you say "You don’t need to split the path; it is already a stereo path." Is this just because the FX Loop block already splits it to stereo? I'm stuck on understanding this detail because everything I have before the FX Loop send would be mono, so in my mind jt needs to "split" or double into left and right signals at some point? But I might just be missing some context since I've never set my path to be stereo before in HX Edit. 2. I did not realize that the HX Stomp would sum to mono automatically if only the 'L' output is connected! Right now I have a XLR Direct Box stuck to the bottom of my pedal board with command strips, and there is a 1ft patch chord connecting this to the 'L' output jack. My original plan was to replace this with a 2-channel Direct Box so both the left and right output jacks would be connected to XLR outputs at all times, and I would hard pan left when I needed to sum to mono. Does it make sense to do that in the context that right output jack would always be plugged in to the direct box? Or would it make more sense to disconnect the right output when not needed so the HX Stomp to detect and handle this automatically?

Hi All, I want to update my pedal board so I can run my FX in Stereo! I think I understand how it will work but I'm looking for some advice and feedback ... My rig is centered around my HX Stomp XL for routing, midi syncing, and some other effects sprinkled in here and there. My pedal chain is currently: Dirt pedals > HX Stomp Input > Volume block for expression pedal > FX Loop Send > TONEX > My time based effects pedals > FX Loop Return > EQ block > HX Stomp mono output to sound board. The pedals I have in the loop of my HX stomp all support stereo signal paths: JHS Emporer v2 Meris Mercury7 Source Audio Collider So I'm thinking I can already support a stereo build with the pedals I have, if I configure my board something like this: Dirt pedals > TONEX > HX Stomp INPUT > Volume block for expression pedal > Split signal to stereo in a block (???) > FX Loop Send (stereo) > My time based effects pedals wired in Stereo > FX Loop Return (stereo) > EQ blocks (one for each left and right??) > HX Stomp STEREO Output The expectation I'd have is that this would output a stereo signal, left and right to the sound board. With all my fx pedals OFF this would sound like a MONO signal (since there is only one Amp in the chain via the TONEX, that gets split into a left and right) but that when I kick on my time based effects pedals, these effects can now stretch their legs and use the stereo path, making the effects sound wider behind the guitar. QUESTIONS: 1. Is this understanding correct? 2. Is there some trick I should do to split the mono signal into stereo in the hx stomp, or can I just do this in the fx loop block? 3. If I'm playing a venue that only has a mono input for me to use, can I pan the output hard left in the HX Stomp to sum my output back down to mono effectively? 4. Any other tips or tricks you can advise here? :-) Thank you for reading my long post and questions, LOL.

Ooooooh OK I gotcha! The piece of the puzzle I was missing was that I didn't know I could bind snapshots to footswitches when using stomp mode, I thought it would be either/or. So I'd be setting up snapshots to send MIDI preset commands to the Mercury7, and those snapshots would also need to be configured for the foot switch button to toggle back to the other snapshot? Thank you for the information :-) I definitely feel better about making the purchase, and know I'll be able to integrate it in the way I'd like to via MIDI.

Thank you for your response!! Just so I understand, is snapshot mode required for just toggling between two CC values like you described? I am familiar with snapshots, but in general pedal board mode fits my use case better.

Hi All, Sorry for what may be a simple question, but my MIDI knowledge is really low and hoping someone can break down what my options would be :-) ... I am predominantly a worship guitarist, and I'm thinking of getting a Meris Mercury7 to add to my board. I currently have a couple cheaper reverb pedals, but want to step up to something nicer, and thinking the Mercury7 will be more fun/unique than the default Strymon BigSky route. I know that the Mercury7 has really deep MIDI controls and all parameters can be changed via MIDI messages, but my question is, can I switch between two presents with a footswitch on my HX Stomp? Scenario would be something like: - Preset #1 on the Mercury7 would be my default reverb sound, UltraPlate mode with a medium decay, I would want to enable this profile when a certain footswitch on my HX Stomp is OFF. - Preset #2 on the Mercury7 would be my ambient/swell sound, Cathedra mode with a long decay, I would want to enable this preset when a certain footswitch on my HX Stomp is ON. Does that make sense? I think this would work if the HX Stomp can assign different messages to a footswitch for ON and OFF? If this is not possible, would there be a different/better way of doing this? (A couple footswitches dedicated to "preset up" and "preset down" for the Mercury7? Or something else?) Alternatively I could just keep my MXR M300 (which I do like) as my default reverb sound, and use the Mercury7 for the ambient and swells. But I appreciate any insight or recommendations on this... Thank you!
