Yeah. I suppose being a "guitar" pedal, it assumes Mono w/Stereo out will suit.

Interestingly (or disturbingly), many of the demos that I've seen of various pedals that offer Stereo out do not even us the 2nd channel. Shame really.

The Little Phatty, as I'm sure you know, is purely a mono instrument but yes, I've got a Korg Radias and even my Old School Voyager is Stereo and it would be a shame to dilute that down to a mono channel.

W/regard to the Strymon, if you pipe in a mono channel and have no 2nd 1/4" in, will it take that as a mono signal (as opposed to Left only) and apply that to the output stereo field (assuming choral or LFO effects?)

Thanks.

Yeah, like the EHX deluxe memory boy is almost everything but stereo i/o .. :(
Although it's mainly for my LP, but i still want it to be fully capable for the rest.
Really, it's not those so-called 'vintage' nor 'analogs' but to have a good heart and good instict is the key..

Sadly, "guitar" pedal makers keep assuming that you won't ever be using
any stereo effects prior to their Mono In/Stereo Out effect.

Equally important is the need to have normal stereo thru when the pedal
is bypassed. One example is the Ventilator Leslie simulator. I'd really like
to have it connected to the L/R Outputs of my ROMpler and kick it in only
when using B-3 and certain guitar and piano sounds. But, because it's only
mono in, I can never have any of my other sounds in stereo without wiring
up a crazy bypass workaround:

The strymon pedals, like almost all Stereo In/Stereo Out pedals, will work
correctly if you only plug into the jack designated as the Mono In.
