Re: Why stereo? its a lesser spotted stan......



maybe you're not misunderstanding me, maybe I'm wrong... my physics of
sound class... so long ago... so very long...

I do know that there is a correlation between the ear distance and
frequency at which you stop hearing in stereo.  It's the principal that
every sub woofer ever made is based on.  Basically, what I was saying is,
that most sound in clubs is a big loud muddy mess that would step on any
subtle stereo chorus.

Speaking of which, people keep talking about the "One guitar into a single
combo amp" setup.  I can think of a couple of dozen combo guitar amps,
such as the famous Roland Stereo Chorus, that use stereo chorus effects.
My first stereo guitar experience was with an Ampeg SC160 that I loved so
very much.
