It was a silly gamble to fly with that cheap case (most definitely NOT a true flight case) to Vegas and back to play our gig - the survival of the Mackie and H9 is a testament to the rugged construction of both products. I haven’t played out with the Mackie-centric rig since the case I used to carry it, the H9, and the OP-1 got busted up. I originally got the SplitMix4 because my Mackie has only one aux bus, and it was a cheap way to get 3 extra busses, although when I had channels available, I just routed the outputs of my stereo devices to mixer channels instead of SplitMix4 returns. I have Klein Bottle FX loop 1 connected to Zoia, left side only for send/return, and have experimented with other devices connected to the other 2 FX loops. My current band rig is Polytune3 -> Deep Six Compressor -> CB Condor -> VFE Klein Bottle -> amp Are you and your friends using this definition or do y’all have a different understanding? When I do want to experiment with stereo FX, I use my trusty Mackie mixer, albeit using one input channel per pedal output, thus using 4 total channels = 2 from H9 + 2 from Zoia. I prefer to set up my sound in mono when playing with the band, because that’s less stuff I have to transport (don’t need 2nd amp, don’t need the Mackie) and my job is to complement the singer/guitarist, not invade the stereo field. If this is in response to my SplitMix4 post, well, I can’t think of another practical way to connect, say, my H9 Left and Right output to a SplitMix4 stereo input other than an insert Y-cable. If you have enough free io’s on the patchbay, you could even hook up the split there in the back. But I would definitely try it first, because it might be fine, depending on your setup. And worse case scenario you might end up with ground loop. Then at the patchbay, if you have a mono out that you need to route to a stereo you could use a splitter cable instead of your normal patch cable.Ī potential problem is what my guitarist friends call “tone suck”. I was imagining both ins on the stereo pedal have a corresponding patchbay connection.
