Well, it's easy when you are all
laptop:
Guitar -> RME FireFace 400 -> Computer ->
RME Fireface 400 -> PA
Once it gets to the laptop, it's all true stereo
from that point onward. I can't image not playing in stereo.
Reverbs decay in stereo. Delays are varied with different L/R times, chorus
is stereo, all of my Reaktor ensembles (instruments and effects) are in
stereo.

I am curious as to how others are using their gear to great
stereo separation in recordings or on stage. Right now, I run everything
mono, but like the idea of going stereo.
My rig:
Mic
Chili
Dog Octave Pedal
Line 6 M13
Boomerang III
Sans Amp Bass Driver
DI
PA

I
play harmonica, hum bass lines, and beatbox into this rig. The M13 and
Boomerang are stereo, but I run them mono. I like the idea of having the
"bass" coming from one side and the rhythm parts on the other. The
beatboxing and lead playing would be from the center.
I am also
thinking of using something like POD HD500 in place of the M13 and Bass Driver
DI to allow me to pan patches. Not only that, it would let me use
different patches for each "instrument" before hitting the looper. Right
now, everything gets the same eq, etc, via the DI. It works ok, but I
have to compromise the tone of all three parts - harmonica, humming,
beatboxing. The HD500 would let me set up a harmonica patch, a bass
patch, and a beatbox patch with only one stomp (which I do all the time to
cycle effects from the M13)
Thanks for your thoughts!
