Subject:Re: Stereo clone into mono amp

Hi Gene,

The "spread" control is analogous to having two mics on each rotor, and deciding how far apart the two mics are. With the spread control all the way up, it's as if one were to place the mics on each side of the cabinet -- a neat effect, but maybe a little too wobbly for some tastes.

On the other hand, a spread of zero is like putting the two mics in the same mic body -- basically, a mono mix. Somewhere in between the two is a sound that reminds one of a "room" Leslie.

Mono mixing of the two channels probably takes some playing around. Most likely, you will want to set the spread somewhere in the middle. You might also want to have one channel a little louder (~6dB) in the mix; otherwise, some strange phasing issues might show up.

Regards,

-BW
