Stereo Routing Question

[alboz28]

Hello,

I am new to stereo routing so please forgive my lack of understanding.

I have an FX8 and a Mesa Mark V switching channels with relays etc... works perfect!...I just acquired a Mesa Stiletto and would like to set up stereo. So essentially I have 2 heads and 2 cabinets and an FX8. I have the relay switching worked out for the Stiletto but am unsure on the best way to achieve stereo delays choruses etc...
Any advice , diagrams etc would be appreciated!

Thank You!

choose one amp to be "left." the other will be "right." send cables from the Left outputs of the FX8 to the Left amp, Right outputs to the Right amp.

that's basically it. the blocks need to have 'stereo things' going on - so choosing "Stereo Chorus" or "Stereo Delay" is a quick way to do that, but there are other settings that can make blocks stereo.

not sure if there's more to your question, but does that get you started?

yes. there is a diagram in the FX8 manual:



simply use the RIGHT sides (unused in the diagram) to go to your 2nd amp. it's up to you if you want to use the Amp input (and Effects Send) on the 2nd amp for a mix of preamp tone, or just use the 2nd amp's power section (Effects Return only) for just a 2nd copy of the original sound (for the most part).
