Do you think stereo is superior? A mono setup is just “the basic” and pretty boring too? Do you think a wet-dry rig is pretty much a stereo setup? Learn HOW, WHEN and WHY you should consider using mono, stereo and wet-dry rigs in this video. Enjoy Gear Corner!

One of the best guitar videos on Earth.
My go too 57 years !
Great thoughts!! i am in the process of putting a pedalboard together and i didn´t know what to aim fore with what i already got. Know i know!! – Thank you!!
Hi i've always wanted to try stereo on my guitar. Can i use 2 ts on my left and right output then xlr at the end to the mixer without DI Box?
For me everything beyond 1 guitar and 1 amp becomes complicated. I'm not a scientist.
I prefer wet dry personally. Blending a high gain dry sound into a clean wet sound really rounds out my dirty tone.
once you go wet/dry, you'll never go back. (–> "sterio" not "stirio")
Stereo was one of the reasons why i bought a Roland JC-40. Stereo from the same amp with a simple ABY pedal, its so much easier than the duel Blues Jr set up i had before. And i will call it, its sounds far better.
I am a beginner guitar player. I just recently heard about stereo setup. I have a Squier 10 amp from a beginners kit and a Fender 20 amp. My new EchoVerb pedal has the stereo outputs. Hooked it up and I am hooked. It really opens up the room. Having two different powered amps seems to work very well.
Love your channel man. Keep it up!
I like to run my modulation effects to both amps but only one amp gets delay or reverb. Sometimes I'll run my boss ce3 to both amps in stereo ad well
I use wet/dry and stereo all of the time. With a small band it really makes the sound big. Mono sounds so small and thin. Love stereo and wet/dry.
Great explanation, thanks!
Great video! Congratulations ????
Thanks for the pointing out what’s best for what. It would be useful if you describe the problems coming up when using two or more amps in a chain, like ground loop and phasing.
Very good topic. I agree with all you said but I’m not sure about using a wet/dry with amp and speaker simulators. To me it doesn’t make sense if the sound isn’t coming out from 2 different speakers and it would be just like a mix of dry and wet from the same amp .
I use 2 fender champ 40's with a twincity aby pedal…many pedals as well…great sound for solo act…
Very nice video! Thanks for explaining.
I do both, wet stereo and dry mono
Nice Video Sir.
You used the words-'Overkill' & 'too Crowded' to describe the outcome of a Stereo Field that was simply stretched beyond recognition.You are very correct.Let's compare two Files-one Mono,the other Stereo.Analysis reveals their File Info is Identical! NOW WHAT? Here's my Conjecture:If you can determine how 7 Priestly Trumpets,let's say each with an XL.470 Bore, knocked down the Walls of Jerico,then I think you will have discovered the ROOT Cause of why a once beautiful Stereo Field got so ugly.A rule of thumb is that Guitars should record at -18db.A Trumpet's apx db production is 120.If I add my guitar or Trumpet to a Backing Track,the Song's File and all it's information changes.Ayn Rand's Objectivism discusses how 'More is NOT better' in interesting detail.
@7:13 the ox box has a stereo output, how do you set it up in your stereo example? Pan it all to one side? Or take out only the left channel out of the ox box?
Do my effects necessarily need kill dry function for wet/dry?
Con wet/dry would be I have no control over the mix of my effects right? So every effect is 100% wet and at the same level. I can’t make my reverb less loud than my delay right?
What if you have a cab with 2 inputs, and a stereo switch?
Is THE critical piece of equipment for WET – DRY setup an ABY box? I didn't see that in any of the pedal overlays during the playing time. thx.
Best video about this argument! Clear, essential, well described! Thank u very much for the examples ????????
I found this with my fender micro mini amp. Stereo effects from my computer speaker's and woofer. Sounds so awesome.
wet dry wet is the best for all
There's an even bigger reason for having a wet/dry rig that no one ever seems to know about, when you run a delay pedal for example in front of an overdriven tube amp, the delay gets all distorted and nasty sounding, like really crappy.. try it, it's because the delays from the pedal keep adding more input into the front end of your tube amp and it starts this nasty cycle, It doesn't happen on solid state amps for some reason. But If you take a line level signal derived from your main tube amp, (because that's the main source of your great tone that you want effects on without degrading it), usually from some type of load box with a line out, and run that to your effects set full wet, then to another clean amp, you get that beautiful clear delay you've been looking for, it's the same with any time based effect really. There are some hit songs where you hear this distorted delay, I can hear it a mile away and I hate it, but it obviously worked for some popular songs, I just think they didn't know what to do about it actually. ha
I run two dual mono rigs in stereo
I was first introduced to the wet/dry setup in the 80s by a friend who played a Boogie thru a single EV 15 (dry) and used a Fender Twin for wet. It’s a glorious and very useable sound.
Is it wise to use a vox dry and a mesa for wet sounds. Using their own drive channels, and not a drive pedal for both? Greetz Didier
How about running stereo out of say Boss Me70 pedal. One going to mixer direct and other going thru an amp which is mic’d? Will that work?
great share , and playing
Great video, I´m gald you use the D20 so often since I own one, I just wish you had talked about wet/dry/wet I´m currently considering setting up a stereo W/D/W rig after trying wet/dry.
Can you please explain the wet/dry rig? Where does the guitar signal get split? All I see are two amps and a set of pedals
Ever since I bought a jazz chorus amp I’ve been wanting to do stereo but my pedals (mostly) don’t have stereo ins and outs. I really want to slowly upgrade and get to stereo for my home rig, anyway thank you for this information it’s really helpful
Wow, what sound!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wet- dry setup is the best. Jimmy Herring uses for the entire live show he played..the sounds glorious .
Kris…. I use an AB/Y pedal with an isolation transformer (important!). Signal A goes through a little Supro where I can really get the tubes cooking for a nice dirt signal. Then I run the B signal through my pedalboard into a Fender Twin Reverb (headroom for days) to get the modulated clean signal. Magic!
Oh no mo no
Very good topics, I love mono but stereo and wet-dry is very helpful in studio recording ♥️
I mostly use wet/dry at home, but I also enjoy stereo and some days(yesterday in fact) I also play in mono with and without effects, so they're all good! Great video Kris!
