![]() So, how significant are the phase issues really? I understand the theory but does it matter in practice? I've done some quick experimentation where the wet signals weren't fully wet but I haven't recorded and listened closely across a range of cases. * HX Effects: Again, no way to run multiple effects and yet end up with a fully wet result unless some stage in the effects chain is fully wet. * Nova Delay: I could run this fully wet but what if I also wanted to use this in conjunction with some other stereo pedals that I did not want to constrain to only being heard on the delays? ![]() But then I come to the reality of some pedals: Presumably analog dry through on the wet path should also work since I would imagine the phase differences of concern would come from analog-to-digital-to-analog latency. I know that the conventional wisdom says that the wet channels should be fully wet to avoid any phase differences with the dry path. it made a lasting impression on me.I'm looking at setting up my direct to mix board rig for wet/dry/wet (and/or using something like the Wetter box to manage effects on a stereo signal path). The first time I heard someone go stereo live was Eric Johnson in 79'. There plenty of bands that kick ass mono!!! A reactive load simulates the complex impedance of a real speaker. Also notice that you’ll see arrows going from right to left, as the input on the pedal is always on the right hand side and the output is on the left. If you dont think stereo sound is worth the effort, for gods sake dont do it!! I do, and we do a little extra work. This term indicates that the Torpedo Captor X is a load which can electrically replace the speaker cabinet while dissipating (transforming into heat) the power coming out of the amplifier. The start of the chain is described as the point closest to the guitar and the end of the chain is the point closest to the amplifier. This is the part where I say its not for everybody. Some clubs that have house sound are very determined to 'not change'. You dont get to play stereo at every gig anyway. You will use a few more channel on your board but it generally requires the same 'amount' of PA equipment than a mono system. My current rig, stands and all fits on the front seat, seriously. my whole rig could fit on the backseat of my little car. That said, with regard to equipment, you will only need two amps that are half the size of the mono rig. One of the most beautiful stereo guitar effects live is oddly enough. If it is done right, and you have a full time sound man that is up to the task, a stereo mix of a great band is going make your band dominate its venues.Ħ. Stereo guitar alone is no reason to go with a stereo guitar rig or PA system. ![]() Most keyboard patches are FAR better stereo than mono.Even simple grand piano patches are stereo.ĥ. A stereo reverb used in moderation on vocals and drums is glorious.Ĥ. Panning a drum mix a little just kills live.ģ. Most people think stereo means everything is hard panned.Ģ. If you have stereo effects on your guitar all the time it will get tedious anyway. Like most any thing, its about moderation. I liked it best if my rig was not 'hard panned' left and right through the mains because it only needed to create space and was usually too extreme and got tedious if hard panned. It was one of the easiest ways to sound better than other bands playing the same venues we did. I love going stereo for guitar and P.A mix. It is true that going stereo means a little more effort, most see no need for it and if you have both sides of a stereo rig mic'd through a mono P.A. There is also an inverted signal on one side of that stereo signal that cancels the other out. Some pedals will let you set up wet/dry using their stereo in/outs but every pedal is different. Pick how your going to run a effect and stick with it. The dry amp is king, all your attack and punch stays intact, that amp/speaker is not muddied trying to produce other effects.ĭepending on effect, some stereo effect will actually make you set back in the mix, go wet/dry and you'll punch through like a freight train.īut I never take stereo effects and let them get summed to mono, as stated above, depending on the effect and how it processes the sound, summing to mono can at times cause phase cancelation effects etc. In certain situations wet/dry can be a more poignant, forceful option to get your sound across. ![]() I may kick on a stereo chorus, but then I'll kick on Hermida Reverb 3 on just right amp, that Reverb 3 is devine even if it is only mono. If I just kick on the mono effects only, my left amp stays 100% dry, effects come out of right amp. In the case of a stereo ping-pong setting, the left channel is dry plus the pings, and the right is dry plus the pongs. HIGH QUALITY AUDIO ALERT Listen to isolated guitar stems with headphones if possible for the best resultsWet/Dry/Wet is a term that gets thrown around a. I've got stereo effects but then I also have some mono delay/verbs just on the right amp. With a typical delay, what you hear at the amplifier is a mix of the repeats and your dry signal. My setup is kind of a hybrid stereo/wet/dry setup.
