2782.0. "Running Stereo" by COMET::DURHAM () Tue Aug 03 1993 11:50

    
    Are there any players out there that run 2 amps in stereo? I would
    like to try running my Marshall in stereo with my Dean Markley.
    Can anyone suggest some ways in how to wire it so I can switch back 
    and forth between the two. Appreciate it.

    Wicked easy, just run the Marshall off the LEFT output & run your Dean
    Markley off the Right output of your Tri-Axis preamp & use the Track 1
    & track 2 selector outputs to switch between amp A, amp B, or both
    amps. Save the presets as consecutively numbered identical programs & then
    pressing the +1 or -1 switch on your MIDI control pedal will switch
    between the 2 amps with the same sound setup.
    
    ;-)
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    An A/B switch & a "both" switch is really all you need. You'll have to
    pay attention to grounding & noise though.

I run stereo with my Midi rack, I believe you get a fuller tone when the chorus
etc. (which are a pseudo stereo) ix in the air rather than in the electronics.

    Yeah and A/B/Both switch or a stereo chorus pedal (or both)
    would allow you to do the stereo thing.  I used to run a pair
    or marshalls thru a multi-FX box in stereo, but I never had 
    (or wanted) the ability to play thru one and or the other.
    
    The "or both" part would allow you to configure a stereo rig
    with the ability to play straight into one amp (mono) or 
    run both amps stereo.

    Another way is to use the Marshall as a practice amp, & the Dean
    Markley as a spare & get yourself a Strategy 500 for REAL HE-MAN
    stereo.
    
    There are some amps out there whose sole purpose in life is to
    capitalize on the "air" stereo effect, notably the Roland JC-120.
    Stereo EFX do the same thing. Some better; some worse.

    Yo Bobby_D,
    
    I don't think that 100w Marshall is quite ready to be relegated
    to a "practice amp" status, as was previously recommended. 
    As a matter of fact, my ears still bleed from that screamer.

    Repliers,
        Thanks for the info on running stereo. I tried running my Marshall
    in one input on my stereo chorus and my Dean Markley thru the other.
    Other than getting some unwanted noise and hiss, The full sound is
    awesome. I like guitars to sound loud and clean. This stereo thing
    is kinda fun ya know.
