A few questions about cab sims and reverb

[laxu]

Since you can have two cab blocks, would running both of them in parallel in mono hires mode mean they both run at 1024 samples vs 512 per cab in stereo mode using a single cab block? Wouldn't you essentially get the same thing as a single stereo cab block but with higher resolution cab sim?

Like this:

             --- CAB 2 --- 
           /               \
-- AMP -- +                 + ------- Output
           \               /
             --- CAB 2 ---

Also is there any benefit to running reverb in parallel if it's the only effect in parallel? Would running it in series essentially be the same except you'd set the mix to how much verb you want instead of having mix at 100% and adjusting the amount of effect with the level control?

Like this:

             --- REVERB ----- 
           /                  \
-- AMP -- + ------------------ + -- CAB -- Output

cab question : correct, if they are set at mono hires

reverb: correct.

Thanks for the answer. I kinda wish there was a Stereo highres option in the cab sim that would simply disable the second cab.
