To learn more about stereo splitting: • Pedalboard Tips #4 - H...
I've received some messages lately of people who are still confused by stereo rigs.
In this video, I will break down the very basic principles of what you need to do to get a stereo pedalboard. The different examples will show you what is necessary to do according to different combinations and placement of mono & stereo pedals.
Of course, there are other ways of setting up a stereo rig, but I think this is the most simple way to do it.

Wow! I just happened to stumble upon your pedalboard tips #6 and man, I think I'm ditching my drive pedals now to focus on a stereo rig, particularly an ambient setup. The difference between mono and stereo is just massive! Right now I only have the gfi clockword delay v2 and a marshall reflector reverb, and I hope that could work out fine. Now it's time to get a 2nd amp. Thanks a bunch sir for the eye opener :)

@spholm 3 года назад

Nice an helpful videolesson, Antoine! BUT: You SHOULD run your signals from your last stereo pedal through an isolated ABY splitter to avoid hum and posible frequency cancellation (reduced signal over some frequencies). It also might be hazardous without an isolated splitter if your gear is not proberly grounded. The splitter must therefore be equipped with electrical isolated outputs like the Lehle Little Dual ABY splitter or others. A low cost splitter like i.e. the FenderABY is only equipped with a simple contact switcher and is not reccomendable in my opinion.

@sthengr 7 лет назад

@JamesJohnson-hb1me 7 лет назад

Thank you very much for this video! I am new to effects pedals so mine are all basic with only 1 input and 1 output and they are all at the front of the amp. I used the black and red splitter from the output of the last pedal in the chain and then connected the 2 cables to 2 amps. I just kept both amps on a clean setting and I got a much fuller sound than I do with just 1 amp. Now I can experiment with different amp settings and maybe placing an effect or 2 after the split so it just goes to 1 amp. Thanks!

@AntoineMichaudGuitar 7 лет назад

Unlimited possibilities from now on :) Stay tuned on my channel as I will talk more about it in the future. Because stereo can mean having other issues like phase problems between both amps. This is the basics, but I will try to cover as much as I can in future episodes! Thanks James!

@FuckingFredo 7 лет назад

For the last exemple, the solution is very simple if you want to keep the mono term at the end;A/B box (Morley for exemple). You get in mono and you have two outputs: A for amp 1 B for amp 2.

@AntoineMichaudGuitar 7 лет назад

Thanks for the good example! My goal with this video was to get the most simple I could to explain this to beginners. I see a lot of you know how to go deeper into it! I doubt someone who is new to stereo pedalboard would like to use an A/B box, programmable loop pedals, MIDI synchronisation. But clearly, that's really nice to see some other solutions in the comment section, I like it, keep them coming :)

@rocknrollsinger 5 лет назад

@@AntoineMichaudGuitar I had a stereo tremolo pedal but it only had a mono input which I found absurd. All stereo pedals should have stereo ins and outs. Otherwise, you end up with stupid compromises and effects that can't be used to their potential.

@ForeverChillMan 5 лет назад

+Tip : You need isolation when using 2 amps.. My recommendation would be to buy a Humdinger from TheGigRig to avoid ground loops and phasing issues when connecting in stereo, before you fry something.

@ForeverChillMan 4 года назад

I'm not an expert on the matter or electricity in general, there is a whole episode on multi amp setups on That Pedal Show channel on RU-vid that I suggest checking out. My guess is there is some interaction between amps which requires isolation of both instrument levels, and also to phase de-sync can be an issue. A splitter device like the humdinger removes both problems.

@rabbitspliff 6 лет назад

True stereo tremolo pedal that you could put at the end of your chain - Source Audio Vertigo. Source Audio is up there with TC Electronic and Strymon for stereo pedals. In fact, they go one better with true stereo drive pedals (the LA Lady, Kingmaker and Aftershock ones), so you can have practically all of your signal chain in stereo.

@AntoineMichaudGuitar 6 лет назад

Thanks for the suggestion!

@rabbitspliff 6 лет назад

I should've said in my first comment, the other true stereo tremolo I know of is the EHX Super Pulsar. It's incredibly fancy, it has to be one of, if not the, fanciest tremolo pedal there is. But it's expensive, at €259. The Vertigo is €178. (Thomann prices). They're both great. The Vertigo will do practically anything you'd normally ask from a tremolo. The Super Pulsar will do that plus a few more unique and interesting things.

@UnSoNiCxXx 5 лет назад

Doing this way, you are going to have ground loops hum in the amps. So don't forget to use a ground isolator like the Radial Shotgun. And you have to be careful about phase problems between amps. For example some amps reverse the phase on the lead channel and others don't reverse it.

@YousefKekhia 6 лет назад

Hey Anotnie :) thanks for this nice simple explanation. I have two questions: 1- In your Daw do you leave the two channels on center or you pan one max to the left and one max to the right? 2- i always wanted to ask you what mics are you using for the amps? Thanks in advance:)

@Elazarko 2 года назад

Hey! I'm wondering what's considered the best options for a great, absolutely amazing "pitch shifter/Harmony effect"? Specifically with a 'digital piano, synth' and Rhodes. I imagine "stereo" is the better way to go in this situation. Not necessarily? The signal from my digital piano is probably also going to be more powerful than most effects pedals are made for right? So I'll start with a very low volume and test from there so that you don't damage the pedal. Is it worth getting a reamp box? Is one or two needed? How about just lowering the piano's volume line - to the outputs level to the level the pedals take. What gear would you personally recommend?

@TheStoneboat 2 года назад

Thanks for the nice video Antoine. Do you know if I can take two mono signals (e.g. one from my drives and one from my synth pedal) and combine these into a Strymon (Flint) stereo input by using a Y cable? From there I can feed Left (synth) and Right (drives) into L and R of my Boss Looper. I will then take the synth sound (with reverb, i.e. Left OUT) into the PA, and the drives (Right OUT) into my amp. Thanks!

@dfmitchell330 2 года назад

Thanks, this is exactly what I was looking for. One question though regarding recording in stereo. Can you plug in your stereo output cables from your pedal into your interface and record in stereo? My interface has two "line ins". Wondering if the last pedal in my chain is stereo, if I could run that into the two line ins in the interface and record that way. Thanks again!

@AntoineMichaudGuitar 2 года назад

Hey David! I don't recommend plugging a guitar into the line inputs. It will sound dull and with a low level. You should plug them in the instrument inputs on the front of the interface that are made for high impedance such as plugging microphones or instruments direct in.

@philb4462 2 года назад

Here's my recommendation. Do everything pre-amp in mono, then put everything post-amp through as few boxes as possible. There are some great multi-effects boxes with delay, chorus, flanging, phasing, tremolo etc. all there in one box. I don't use pedals for that sort of thing. I use a Line 6 multi-effects unit, but there are plenty of options. It makes things sooooo much simpler. You can have preset configurations that you can recall with a single button, and it can go directly into a PA or computer. No double amplifier so less equipment to lug around. Simple!

@PM-yz8fx Год назад

Hi Antoine, do you ever have any problems with solderless patch cables... a lot of people don't recommend them but they look so practical, flexible and short! I'd like to build a stereo pedal board and I need a lot of patch cables :)

@AntoineMichaudGuitar Год назад

Yes, even if the pedal has 2 inputs and 2 outputs, if you want to use it as your first stereo pedal in the chain, you can plug only 1 input (left side usually) and 2 outputs, and that would be a correct way to obtain stereo.

@gaevinciofficial 3 года назад

Hello Antoine, your video helped me a lot to build my pedalboard. I am left with only one doubt: If the last pedal in the sequence is mono (and usually the last pedals in the sequence are mono reverbs) AS IN YOUR LAST EXAMPLE, I lose the stereo sound obtained with the previous steps. Is there a solution? or do I have to move the reverb in order to close the pedal sequence with a stereo one? thanks

@AntoineMichaudGuitar 3 года назад

I would recommend getting a stereo reverb, that's the easiest solution to leave it last .. and there is plenty of good stereo reverbs out there! If not, you would need to move it up the chain, but it's much better to have your reverb last!

The pedals with stereo output are the last ones from Polymoon,Helix,H9,El Capistan and the BigSky. From the BIgSky outputs one goes to my fender amp and one goes to my Peavey amp. Once I save my money it with go into a Magnatone panoramic Stereo with two extra Magnatone speakers on each side that will be coming from the amp outputs. Let me know what you recommend? Thanks!

@Paolo_Pino 5 лет назад

Hi, Antoine! This video is very well made, and it's rare to see on youtube tutorial about this stereo thing (that always bugs me). I have this problem, want to record in stereo through audio interface: Guitar-->Strymon Sunset-->Timeline-->Big Sky-->Ditto Looper-->Audio Interface (Focusrite 2i2). If I understood what are you saying in the video, the best thing to do is to: 1) get rid of ditto at the end of signal since it's mono, then 2) place the timeline after the big sky and use the looper in the timeline to replace the ditto, then 3) use the stereo breakout cable and go straight in the audio interface (then in daw and set the track to stereo) Is it correct or I have to consider something else?

@AntoineMichaudGuitar 5 лет назад

Great reasoning! However, there is no need for a breakout cable, since both your Big Sky and Timeline have stereo ins and outs! So you can come out of your Timeline with one cable for LEFT and one cable for RIGHT and plug them into your two inputs of your Scarlett. The only thing you will need is a good amplifier simulator plugin inside your DAW, or else it's going to sound dull a bit going straight into your interface without any emulation. Other solution is just to get a Ditto X4 who has stereo ins and outs, so you can keep your pedalboard chain untouched!

@Paolo_Pino 5 лет назад

@@AntoineMichaudGuitar I don't know if it's possible to record simoultaneously from the two channels of the 2i2. If I remember correctly it's not possible. And if it's possible, I will have to record 2 mono tracks and then merge them together (on reaper, that it's what I use it's possible, but it's a clumsy long process). For this reason I opted for the breakout cable, since every input on the scarlett accept stereo signals, and it'll be much easier to record directly one stereo track. In the next weeks I will try both combination and let you know. Thanks for the quick reply! ;)

No, don't do that! I want to save you from a complicated setup for nothing! You can do much simpler! I have the Scarlett 2i2 myself and can indeed record 2 tracks at the same time. On the website it clearly says: ''Perfect for recording two mics at once!''. Even if you record 2 mono tracks, it IS a stereo track. You just have to pan one to the Left and the other to the Right and... BOOM! You got your stereo recording. I record like this since years! I find it even better than a stereo track, because with two mono tracks panned, you have seperate control on the volume of the left and right sides. So if you inadvertently recorded one side quieter than the other, you can adjust each side seperately, which you can't do on a summed up stereo track.

@@AntoineMichaudGuitar Thanks a lot! Now that I know what I have to do it's time to shop for a good pair of quality cables. ;) Do you have suggestions?

@AntoineMichaudGuitar 5 лет назад

The best are Mogami cables! Just check the difference of noise ratio with regular cables: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tUG4FkRSf2c.html

I have a question .. the end of my chain is Guitar --- stereo chorus(one input and 2 outputs) --- stereo looper(2 inputs and 2 outputs) === to amp 1, amp 2 So the question is .. should I connect the 2 outputs of the chorus to the 2 inputs of the looper Or I just should connect the chorus via only 1 cable (the mono output) to the mono input of the Looper and then out of the two outputs of the looper to amp1 and amp2. It loooks like this 1. ---- Chorus ==Looper === amps or 2. ----- Chorus --- Looper === amps

@tychoclavius4818 4 года назад

The looper doesn't add any effect so splitting it there doesn't do anything for you. The chorus does, and the looper in stereo passes it on. Putting the chorus in mono defeats the purpose.

I hope someone reads this. If it's a dumb question my bad. I want to know if I can have my Laney lc 50 and pedalboard running as usual with a cable going from the other output on my boss rv-3 and connect it to a little practice amp I have? Will I be able to get a little stereo effect like that?

@dynamicalan 21 день назад

So if we have only one jack for the input and one Jack for the output can we assume that it is a mono pedal and if so how can we use it with stereo pedals in the stereo chain? How do you tell if they are mono or not?

How do you do this in the effects loop? I want to use my Mark V mesa boogie preamp for EQ and some small amount of distortion and then run into the Mark V power section and a Fender twin; so I need to use the effects loop of the Mark V. My guess is you connect the SEND output of the Mark V effects loop into the mono input of the first pedal, I use the mobius so I can divide into stereo there, go through my timeline and then my big sky, then take one cable, say right and plug it into the RETURN of the Mark V and then the other cable (left) into the front of my Fender, or into the RETURN input of the Fender’s loop. Does this sound reasonable? Or will I cause a huge explosion of some sort??

@mikey206 5 лет назад

Wish I could answer that but Yeh I’m wondering the same thing- ive got 2 5150’s and some sweet vintage rack fx’s and pedals I wanna run in stereo. But I can find a video anywhere that actually shows that and clearly shows the connections on the back of each amp etc. Awesome if you can do a stereo vid thru send and return Also how to connect 2 heads... In my case with the 2 5150’s would I plug a cable from the preout?? Cheers Mike

@tychoclavius4818 4 года назад

You can use the tremolo at the very end of a stereo pedal chain if you put it after only one of the two signals coming from the stereo pedal, while the other out goes straight to the amp. That way only one half will have the tremolo effect so that might sound weird and bad, but it might also be cool and definitely makes the stereo effect noticable.

@ClaudioBertuccio 5 лет назад

Nice idea, but I have some doubt in my case.. I have to enter in last inside a Loopstation Boss (RC20XL), can I do with it? Thanks

@AntoineMichaudGuitar 5 лет назад

Yeah, it seems it can only accept mono input and output, sorry :-(

@ClaudioBertuccio 5 лет назад

No problem, then I will change it with a rc30 that should have in and out stereo. The only thing that does not convince me: is not possible adjust the input level ... Boh, I'm documenting... Thank you so much for your reply!

@Benjaminjams1 4 года назад

Could you put a stereo pedal last in your chain and then split it off to your amp there, while running everything else in mono?

@tychoclavius4818 4 года назад

Yeah that's the first example setup.

Can i place a stereo volume pedal at the end after a mono delay pedal to turn it into a stereo

@osvaldomorales7100 5 лет назад

Hello, I have a question. My amplifier has FX LOOP. How'd be the "connection" to sound in stereo using FX loop plus two amplifiers? Should I take a signal from the outputs (L-R) to my other amp?

@AntoineMichaudGuitar 5 лет назад

You would use the Left side on the effects loop of your first amp, and the Right side on the effects loop of your second amp. This implies that the first pedal in your effects loop chain has to have 2 inputs on it, or you won't be able to connect both ''send'' cables.

@martdcvlog2988 2 года назад

i just have a question. is it possible to have a stereo output on a mono amplifier? like my strymon bluesky stereo out but i will plug it in into a mono speaker. using this kind of cable conversions

@AntoineMichaudGuitar 2 года назад

You can just use the Left out of from the BlueSky and that's going to work just fine. Unless you have ping pong delays in your chain, you wouldn't lose too much. If not, you need to sum to mono before going to the amp (the Strymon Iridium has a ''mono-sum'' mode, for example).

@demetrioerrigo6314 6 лет назад

Hi, really interesting video. I have one question: I run Timeline >Flint >ditto x2 looper and to activate the stereo input in the Flint I need to set the little jumper inside to stereo but I don’t always use my pedalboard with two amps so, have I to set the jumper to mono every time and disconnect all the second cables or I can use in mono simply connecting all to one amp? Thank you 😊

@AntoineMichaudGuitar 6 лет назад

Good news: You don't have to disconnect anything to play in mono :) The second set of cables can stay there, they just won't be active!

@demetrioerrigo6314 6 лет назад

Monochrome Seasons without losing anything in the sound?

@AntoineMichaudGuitar 6 лет назад

No, not losing any quality! Playing in stereo doesn't mean splitting your mono ''quality'' in half. You will get less spread by coming mono out at the end of your chain, but beside that, I have never experienced any downgrade in quality.
