HELP HX EFFECTS - Real amp + IR with stereo effects to PA

[joanesinu]

Hello,

 

I am trying to do a patch to use with real amp live but use an IR to send the signal to front of house.

 

The idea of the following preset is to use the 4 cable method, and the last signal to the amp (To amp loop return) goes from the send block. That works but the problem is that as soon as I activate the send block or the IR block the signal is not stereo anymore. I thought the Send block wouldn't affect the signal panning but it does. It makes it mono, even if I don't want it to affect the path signal.

 

The goal is to send both left and right effects to amp loop return but maintain the PAN to get output 1 and output 2 to front of house separately. 

 

Anyone knows if this can be done?

 

Thanks.

Hi,

 

The SEND/RETURN blocks in the HXFX are mono, and IRs are also mono.

 

From the HX Effects 3.0 Owner’s Manual > page 25

 

NOTE: Just like a true speaker cab, IR blocks are mono. Therefore, an IR block will sum any stereo source that is fed into it to mono. 

 

Page 25 also contains the info about SEND/RETURN blocks.

Hope this helps/makes sense.
