@thetoneshepherd Жыл бұрын

This pedal only accepts a MONO input, so you cannot run this at the very end of your stereo chain. I put my stereo wet effects AFTER this pedal. It has stereo outputs because it does have built-in stereo reverb if you want to use it (which I am not). It’s very unfortunate in my opinion and one of the main drawbacks of this device. I would have to purchase two of these to do what I really want to do with it.

The ToneX pedal has a mono input and stereo output. So you can only run mono effects into the front of a single pedal. To run stereo fx into the pedal, you need two. You can always choose to run your stereo effect AFTER the ToneX pedal, however. That way, you can use a single pedal. It just doesn't have the tone that I, personally, go for by doing that.
