Using stereo outputs for dual mono?

[ride85]

Anybody know this... if when only using mono blocks when building a preset will the stereo outputs function in dual mono?

 

i want to use the hx stomp to send a signal to the desk & another to my power amp (with the exact same sound inc. cab sims).

 

at the moment i’m using an fx send block at the end of my signal path to do this same thing. Problem is it leaves me only 5 blocks to work with..not a big problem but if can avoid needing to use a block for an fx send i will.

 

thanks!

Huh. Interesting question. My assumption would be that this is EXACTLY what it should do. Especially since whenever a mono block is added to the Stomp's signal, the signal sent out of that mono block is mono, so if you're final block is mono - so should the output. I double checked what I could find and it left me . . . not as confidant as I'd like to be.

 

I'd assume if you could do this it would have suggested it as the more obvious option in the HX Stomp's manual when it talks about a hybrid amp/direct setup. Instead it very clearly mentions using an FX block (Honestly, I wish the Stomp would at least let us use more blocks IF they're going to be FX blocks since I believe they use very little DSP).

 

Then again, MAYBE they didn't there because the assumption was it was a traditional amp, and you wouldn't want things like delays, amp modeling, and other effects being applied prior to going through a traditional amp.

 

My advice would be to test it. If I get a chance I might look into it myself and let you know, but it sounds like you have easier access to the type of setup you use. Let us know what it does!
