Question about when using 2 amp blocks...

[jlynnb1]

I've never tried dual amps before, so i thought I'd give it a go....when running into the same cab should I hard-pan both amps? I'm not running stereo to FOH or anything, but it seems to be more of the tone I expected it to be when they are panned. Curious as to what the correct way to do it is. Any special input/output settings to be aware of?

The cab block is mono by default. Unless you set it to stereo, there is no point in hardpanning your amp blocks.

I wonder why it sounds so much more like I think it would when panned? Oh well, I'll keep messing with it.

Adjust the pans till it sounds right to you. Its all good then... :eagerness:

Panning L/R reduces cab block input level by 6 dB assuming input mode = L+R sum. If it's left only or right only, one amp would be muted.

yeah, both amps are there....i think the cab input mode was stereo, does that need to be changed?

I have two amps going into one Stereo hi-res cab panned hard left and right.

With mono cab, stereo input select is the same as L+R sum. Keep amp balance center and a mono cab's input select won't matter. Balancing L/R is the same as lowering each amp's output level by 6 dB.

I do this too..
and my backline is stereo too [Matrix amp and 2 4x12 cabs]
