Start by setting it up in series after your cab, both left and right Out 4 into the left and right of the pedal. Left/right out of the pedal back into Input 4 left/right. 4 total patch cables. Set both the Effect and Dry knobs fully clockwise on the pedal. You'll also need to be monitoring in stereo, ideally with headphones.Apologies if this is not the right place, but how exactly are you guys setting up the ins and outs? I've got a stereo patch with one amp and 2 cabs (panned hard L and R) and when I set OUT4 after the cab, then IN4 after that, it just sounds metallic and phasey. The output and input are set to stereo.
Good point, I might "downgrade" to the mini version on one side and turn the dry down all the way. However I got the full version for <$100 on reverb and the cheapest mini on reverb is pushing $70 after tax and shipping so I might just keep the full version for flexibility.similar here - running Mimiq pedal mono in Left side of loop only for best results (right side going straight thru) (1 voice / 90% wet / 0% dry / 50% Tightness). Running just before or after hard L/R panned cab blocks is good - running just before hard panned L/R panned amp blocks sounds best imo. In hind sight, the Mimiq mini is best value at 1/2 the price to do the same as above with the stereo version - the multiple voices start to sound a bit garbled at times to my ear - one voice @ 100% wet before a second hard panned amp + delayed slightly + randomly in Mimiq seems to fit the definition of a real time double tracking process - wish it had a bit more "swing" sometimes, but really good.
Made the exact same mental mistakeOh, I'm dumb. I have my switch set to 1 as well- so that you get two outputs on the pedal.
Same experience here, didn't like the 2 dubs setting at all, much louder on the left side and just sort of muddied up the stereo field. One of my goals for this type of thing is creating space in the center of my IEM mix and any setting other than 1 Dub puts more stuff in the middle.The 2 setting gives you a w/d/w sort of effect, iirc, which made it seem like the left hand side was louder.
I actually thought about that too. I reamped the same riff through both setups (mimiq stereo, mimiq mono on one side) and checked them summed to mono, they both had a pretty similar phasey sound. Then I double tracked with no mimiq, checked it in mono, and as expected there was essentially no audible phasing, it just sounded like a double centered. So my conclusion is that although the Mimiq is not a perfect recreation of actual double tracking and I'll still be double tracking final guitars, it's a big upgrade from the Enhancer block for demos and live w/ IEMs.FWIW, running just one side of the pedal in a loop like you're doing is probably throwing a little additional Haas effect in there as well, because of the latency of the loop- the loop throws just a tiny bit of latency in the AD/DA conversion, so if you find yourself dealing with some mystery phaseyness at some point, running both amps through the pedal in serial would solve it, but hey, if it sounds good, it is good!
While we're talking about phasing, in IEMs the two signals are hard panned so there's no issue there. In studio monitors or live if your 2 lines are hard panned you'll be reducing phasing or comb filtering anyway as compared to running mono, where you have an identical signal coming out of all the speakers, just asking for tons of comb filtering depending on where you're listening from. This video shows what I mean using white noise.
