Dual cab sim mixes down to mono

I have a preset that splits, hard pans left and right, applies two preamps, then on the merge continues to be hard panned left and right.

 

I normally have this sent to my amp via left and right out, I can hear both outputs in my stereo cab. I recently added a 2nd split (again hard panned left and right), sent one side of this split to a cab sim, then send that to sends 1+2. (For inear monitoring)

 

I have tried four different things:

1. no 2nd split, straight to sends 1+2. I hear both preamps hard panned in my inears as I would expect. (of course super high frequency / buzzy because there's no cabinet!)

2. no 2nd split, but using a dual cab sim, to sends 1+2. It sounds like a normal distorted guitar amp in my inears now, but the signal is mixed down to mono.

3. 2nd split, sending to L+R out and sends 1+2. I tried a dual cab sim bypassed (or any stereo block, but bypassed) to keep the final split there, and I hear the output from the send, but only on the right side! (afaik you can't have a split without *some* block being in the path, but maybe there is a way to do that)

4. If I now unbypass the dual cab sim, same configuration as scenario 3, I can hear the output in both ears, but the dual cab sim mixes down to mono again.

 

I want to be able to split, send normal output to L+R outs, split right before the end and have a stereo cab sim so I can hear both amps, one L and one R, in sends 1+2.

 

What's going on here? Is a dual cab sim actually mono?
