Stereo paths

Hi all,

 

i was wondering how the Stereo path works. Suppose, as in the attached figure, to have a path that has been splitted in two subpaths with different ampli+cabs, that then go to a stereo effect (reverb, or delay,, or something similar). Are the sound of the amps sent one to the right channel and the other to the left? Suppose I use a Fender and a Marshall. Can i expect to have the Fender on the right and the Marshall on the left?

I think to have understood. To get a complete separation of the channels i need to maintain  two separate paths with same input e different outputs, and then to work on the pan configuration that can be modified directly opening the outputs themselves.

Unfortunately you are correct. The reverb in your example would sum the effects to mono before creating a stereo signal. There is no way to maintain true stereo separation through stereo effects as I understand it (I had asked a similar question before). This is, honestly, a really big oversight in the case of line6. IMO, any stereo effects should operate like the Boss DD7 pedal: https://www.boss.info/us/products/dd-7/ which has discrete stereo L/R in as well as out, for things like ping-pong delay this is really necessary.

Exploring more the PC interface I've seen that the mixer node (where the secondary path reconnect to the main stream) has a pan functionality. Apparently it seems possible to have a complete separation also using a single path with a proper configuration of this mixer node. Am i wrong?
