You would need everything before the stereo split connected to a single transmitter, and two receivers on the same channel connected to the amps. You still would have a mono signal feeding two mono systems.

I.E. you need two wireless units on the same frequency, use both receivers, but only one transmitter.

A weird thing I have found out about wireless systems, that if the TX and RX are in close proximity to each other, they can act squirrelly. Also, I haven't found a wireless unit yet that a well placed cell phone won't interfere with.

Wouldn't you get true stereo if you came out of the stereo effects unit, with each output going to a transmitter and having 2 receiver's set at different frequencies at each amp. The transmitters could be mounted to a pedalboard next to the player. That would eliminate the cords to the amps, and cord clutter at the guitar.

Unless the cords are a real problem, like tripping people, I just see the whole wireless thing as a waste of money. Just more things to go wrong.

The most you can get trying to convert mono to stereo is two mono tracks. If the source is mono, it will still be mono coming out, just amplified twice.

Except for patches where one channel is dry and the other delayed. Granted, the guitar is not stereo, but the signal becomes stereo upon exiting a stereo out device, like delay pedals. Stereo IS 2 mono channels combined. It's just the mono channels can be carrying different stuff.

You can also have things like the mono signal coming out both channels in phase, but the delayed/reverbed sound out of phase... really gives the wide effect.

Years ago, at an FM station in Delaware, we ceossed the reverb circuits. Sampled the left channel, ran it through a spring reverb circuit and added a small amount of the reverb's output to the right channel. We did the same thing in reverse, adding the right channel reverb signal back into the left channel. The result ws a very big sound on the air.

Peter,
It was back during the "loudness wars" that radio stations were having. We originated an adult standards format, Nat King Cole, Carpenters, etc. With those artists, we didn't need to be in a loudness war, but we still wanted the sound to get noticed. We purchased two Fisher Space Expanders and modified them for low impedance inputs and outputs. If I remember correctly, we rolled off some of the low end of the reverb signals. Everybody thought the station sounded great and nobody could figure out why.

All the best Peter.

Craig
