Guitar in Mono, Dual Mono, Stereo AND the difference!
What is the difference between mono, dual mono and stereo guitar amps?
Should your guitar be wired in dual mono instead of stereo? Or just keep your pedal board wired in mono to keep things easy?
In this video we go through the definition of each, how to wire your pedals and what they all sound like back to back!
Did you know that Interfacer, Underfacer, Output TX and LongLine can all run mono, dual mono and stereo without re-patching?

The exsplosivly lound spontanious music, makes this unwatchable, I have to turn the volume down to a point where I can not hear the speech, skip.
Can I run stereo into a standard mono Input device that then runs out stereo?
I’m trying to runs my two amp sims into a reverb that only has 1 standard input and runs out stereo output
I'm building a speaker/amp box and it's stereo for players/mixer out in default mode. It's already a mixer in itself as the guitar input can change and the output can continue. A pile of problems, but it's okay as a replacement for headphones.
Stereo guitar is wiring a stereo output jack into the guitar and running the pickups to separate amps.
i am starting to experiment with dotted eighth delay in my playing. i’m curious, what do you guys recommend for that setup? mono or stereo?
So this is for all in front of each amp? How do you use the effects loops?
Dual mono with Stereo effects is the best
Thanks
Hello from Spain. For monitoring in live, can you help me to choose?. Two PA monitors like headrush 108 in stereo or best mono with laney fr112, tonemaster fr10, etc? And why one or other?? Thanks
I say MONO is the clear winner here.Fact,I'm surprised I'm saying this,but it wasn't even close.JMO
Sorry to be blunt but this only adds to the confusion around mono and stereo in guitar routing. There is no dual mono in your example of "dual mono". It's merely mono split into two amps, which is still pure mono, not "dual" mono at all.
Two amps need the JHS A/B/Y Active . It will stop the Ground Loop Hum Buzz and sound Powerful and save from electrocution if you ground lift !
Some recording Bug, because the stereo ist more on the right side?
Virtually all modelers do this in their modulation stage and most people have not heard what their s*** sounds like through two amps instead of one
The little musical intro tells me that if you recorded that you got a pretty good ear because I could hear very quality mix right through my cell phone
What if you have a stereo signal coming out of your pedal board but running into 1 amp with two separate channels? What do you term that?
Thanks for the video! I have a wind synthesizer (Aerophone AE-20) with mono and stereo output options. What would be the point of putting it in stereo mode if I only have one amplifier (I feed it with two mono cables through two of its channels).
Thanks for sharing
I would like to send the mono signal from a Moog 37 to the timeline and then to the Big Sky and i'm not sure with these pedals witch input to use from the Moog. Is any difference is i use left or right input of the first pedal. How about to split the signal from Moog in two mono and then to the stereo input. I would like to get a nice ambient sound that is stereo as output. I don't use a guitar. I'm a electronic music producer. How you guys would approach this?
Thank you
It’s great when someone who really knows their shit can explain something that everyone can understand. Thank you mate.
Dual mono in this example is just better sounding because it's louder. Louder always sounds better.
It's louder because you use two (duplicate) tracks. Panned hard L / hard R.
In mono it's less loud because it only consists of a single track. Panned center equals hard pan L / R, but again it's softer because only 1 track. When you level match it with the mono recording it will sound the same.
Only when you introduce differences between both channels (like in the delayed example, or when you use two different amps, do a slight modulation, use different takes etc.) it makes sense to stereo pan both channels.
Great video !! Can I connect stereo fx in a stereo power amp ?
If your amps have an effects loop even better.
How do you delay one amp by 4ms?
I run my wet fx before my dual amps and the amps cancel out the panning of my pingpong delay. Is there anything I have done wrong?
Great explanation, graphics and audio examples. One question remains for me. I checked the Interfacer splitter box and it is not cheap for me. Does an ABY splitter box degrade the signal significantly ?
My favourite go-to setup these days is using two amps, with different voicings, but not separated into a stereo field. So the two amps are either directly side by side, or even stacked one on the other. Then if I apply a mild panning between the two channels, there is a gentle modulation effect, but without the sea-sickening hard right/left thing of full stereo setups. My inspiration for this setup was stereo amps like Magnatones and also Leslie speakers, where the sounds are still coming from one central point rather than from two different corners of a room. Particularly for stereo Leslie effect pedals, I find putting the two amps side by side, and angled about 45 degrees away from each other, gives a more accurate representation of what a Leslie speaker does, throwing the sounds out from a single point into different directions in the room, rather than having the sounds coming at you from two different points in the room.
Would this work using an ABY pedal into stereo pedals and switch between amps for different tones and then have both amps active for stereo?
i got a new boss rc5 looper and im struggling to get a good sound quality when i loop wit the drum machine, should i get stereo cables????
Great Job Man ❤❤❤
still confused..so for my purposes..i dont use real amps but record in Reaper using Neural DSP Plugins..do i need to use mono or stereo when recording electric guitar?
Thanks
?
Thanks
this was an excellent video, well explained
