Few things Every serious modeler like the Helix and Axe FX sums stereo to mono by just running mono out. So having stereo patches is a non issue Running it in stereo reduces fatique from headphones and near field studio monitors. If you have a mono patch running through headphones or two studio monitors, you are essentially simulating two amps playing the exact same thing. While this is ideal for mixing because panning can correct without losing detail or dynamic range, it is not ideal for practicing. Great video.
cool examples, just wondering on your 3rd example/my rig , is that second hard panned cab have extra distance on purpose? just wondering as it delays the second amp/or side signal some what, or at least that's what i'm hearing, if that was done on purpose instead of a setup that is more 'aligned' as it were, that'll change the tone and tighten things up i guess if you lower the distance and align things up
I almost never run into a situation where a sound man runs in stereo it is always mono. Most situations they are clueless when you show up with a modeler and your in ears.
@@DaveWebbMusic The problem with stereo rigs, to me at least, is that there’s still a strong phantom center or when you hit certain chords or harmonics, it feels like it sums to mono for a short bit. I tried every trick there is in the Axe-FX, but only the Mimiq gave me the width and feel I wanted. Highly recommended!
@AdamMGuitar I actually know exactly what you mean. I was surprised that it wasn’t a wider spread, but it’s definitely better than mono. I’m gonna have to track down a mimiq and give it a go. Cheers dude!

i do use the wave designer and a little sound maxer on my xr18 which makes a HUGE difference to guitar tone

That's the way to go! Try putting the TC Mimiq before your Amp blocks, amazing.
Petrucci style. Nice!
I don’t have a Mimiq, but that’s a good idea.
I tried the pitch block trick, but I don’t feel it really adds anything.

everyone says mono and honestly when i run my helix in stereo it sound worse than in mono, like way thicker and fuller.
