Using Stereo Pedal with ABY amp switcher

Post by Gr8fulPickr »

Trying to finalize my schematic for my rack build. I have a Strymon Deco that I'll be using at the end of my chain. I'd like to run it in stereo, but I'm just not really understanding how to accomplish the wiring here with my Radial Twin City ABY handling the amp switching.

I thought I'd run the out of the last mono pedal (Loop 6) to the "FX Return" of my OBEL Breakout Box >> onto the Twin City input >> Twin City Output A to Input of Loop 7 (left) and Output B to Loop 8 (right)...

But then where is the Deco pedal??? It only has a mono input, so I'm a bit confused.

The ideal solution for me would be to have the Deco before my OBEL Breakout Box, but that isn't essential.

Thanks in advance. Here's a link to my schematic:

Hi there,

The only way I can see you using your Deco in stereo mode, is after the ABY with an insert cable. The Deco has a jumper inside to be able to use it with a trs cable so, out of the left and right of the aby, through the insert cable (left to ring, right to tip, sleeves to sleeves) into the deco, out to you KR12 and the SS amp switcher.

Hope this helps
Cheers

Yeah, I figured that out about the Deco yesterday. Probably going to go the wet/dry route.
