Members prodrigu Posted February 27, 2004 Members Share Posted February 27, 2004 I want to use a MXR phaser with my setup (and maybe add some more pedal using a switcher), which is basically Triaxis + Mesa Amp 2:90. However, I don't know how a mono pedal is supposed to work with a stereo rig. Many thanks in advance, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tubefreak Posted February 28, 2004 Members Share Posted February 28, 2004 Your preamp is mono, so just place it before or in the loop if it works. Connect the output2 of the Triaxis to the 2:90 and you're fine. Maarten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sl2gx Posted February 28, 2004 Members Share Posted February 28, 2004 Yea your pre is mono your power is stereo so do like he said but put it in the loop not in front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members prodrigu Posted February 28, 2004 Author Members Share Posted February 28, 2004 The FX loop of the Triaxis is mone send and stereo return, that's why I'm asking. Could you guys comment a bit more on that. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tubefreak Posted March 2, 2004 Members Share Posted March 2, 2004 just use the left return and the left output to the poweramp and you'll be fine. If you really need to use two cables to your poweramp, then use a y-split cable which goes from the fx pedal/device to both fx returns. But in most cases you won't need it, because the preamp is going to recognize only one fx return is used and is going to send the one fx return signal to both outputs. Great design.

Members KaneMan Posted March 2, 2004 Members Share Posted March 2, 2004 I ran my vol pedal thru the FX loop in my Triaxis. (In which I'm selling soon) I just used a y-cable for the returns of the Triaxis. works great. Hope this helps. rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great design.Maarten I don't see how you can have stereo effects with a preamp that has 2 fx returns that are the same point internally. All you can do with that is have two mono cabs on opposite sides of the room, but you're sending the same signal to both of them. It seems if you really want stereo fx's, you have to use the Y-cable (and have the fx returns be two seperate internal ponts) or have a pre with 2 fx sends/returns.
