Absolutely Stereo is Very important live!!! One of the features of the human body is that we have two ears, and a band as a collection of people "take up space", guitar to the left, bass right, drums center, etc. I find, when mixing live bands, that just panning instruments slightly, positions them in "field" and in some way gives them space in the sound picture! When it comes to guitar as a solo instrument, SINCE WHEN (?) has a guitar been mono??? I have NEVER had a mono set up, initially i was probably only using stereo reverb (reverb for ex is an effect that is a MESS in mono! think about what it is supposed to be emulating!) and auto pan, but now!!! OH MY GOD, i got one repeater track already panned left another panned right, I pick which track i wanna loop on depending on where i want that sound in the stereo picture. + the good ole Vortex is pissing sounds left and right all over the shop!! + guitar synth where a trad stand up bass pans left right on every note i play, + an acoustic 12 sting git, where alternate strings go to alternate speakers (E to right A left D right G left etc) The possibilities are ENDLESS!!! As far as the sound being poor for the audience if they happen to be over the left of the room say, sure pan the WHOLE DAMN MIX left and right and could be a prob, but you know it worked fine for the beatles!!! Ever tried panning Sgt Pepper over to one side, lose the right? its cool THE RINGO MIX !! So i got repeater, but want edp too! repeater is turning out to be a loop storage unit for me, and not a live-looper, so stick with vortex, but edp got all them "drop-in chop up, next loop back to 1st, get confused, have a lie down, wake up, wiggle about, suss it out finally and then Kim goes and brings out a new version"...features i keep hearing about on LD i dont think i can take it any more, my guitar rack already looks like a 60's MOOG for faen! (Norwegian swear-word!) PS: Adrena.Linn looks cool? anyone tried?
