    im running the following signal path

    guitar ->
    Splitter A -> OD -> Muff -> Delay -> Marshall JCM
    Splitter B -> LPB2ube -> Delay -> Roland JC120

    i generally leave the lpb2ube on all the time to warm up the JC120.

    someone mentioned phase to me the other day, about how when running amps in stereo you should make sure your sound is coming out in phase… and its confused me a little bit.

    is it possible that the phase of a signal passing thru the lpb2ube or any other ehx tube pedals, is flipped? so when im engaging one it is putting my signals out of phase?

    are there any phase issues to worry about here.

    Putting your signal through any electrical component (let alone an amplifier) will distort it’s phase to some degree, so your two signals are almost definately ‘out of phase’. You can build a simple 1:1 phase inverting buffer which you can use on one of your signal chains to see if it improves your sound or not, other than that there’s no real way of phase-aligning your two signal paths. Either way phase won’t be an issue if both signals are treated differently so don’t worry about things like phase cancellation etc.
