Subject: [xl7] Re: Return effect in stereo?

Apologies if in my tiredness I misinterpreted the question. (It has been known to happen!) I thought the intent was to take a mono fx pedal signal which was put back into the command station and have the command station somehow convert it to stereo.

I took this to mean that nikisanpsix already knew how to return the signal from the pedal through the subs via a trs cable and wanted to somehow convert the mono fx signal signal into stereo.

To me the obvious answer is to send the mono out of the fx pedal (think "Y" cable) into both the left and right return of the command station. As I understand it, doing that would sum the command station's stereo out with the mono in on both the left and right command station outs.

Although I thought of that, I didn't think that's what nikisanpsix was wanting to do as it is not really converting a mono in to stereo. Rather, it is using the command station's returns to create a passive mixer--something I do regularly.

I stand corrected. I hope this helps explain how to do it.
