    it could work, but how I’m looking at it, it wouldn’t be much different to running two fuzz pedals after a signal split.

    …for example get a pulsar stick your guitar into that, then run the two outputs into say…. a Tone Wicker on one side and a Bass Muff on the other… then run those into two amps. You’d have have a stereo fuzz effect because you’d have 2 different fuzz sounds on each amp.

    This is basically what my friend does in his band (although with amp distortion) he has one amp on one side of the stage running a crunchy, jangly overdrive and another on the other side of the stage running a full on high gain compressed sound. It creates a pretty good impression of having 2 guitars playing as the sound and sustain etc is totally different on each side of the stage….it gives a really full big sound from just one guitar player.

    Yes, best results would be with a Big Muff put through through the Stereo Pulsar, or SMMH, then into two amps, left and right. The same signal twice would create mono-mono….mono.

    The trend seems to be going in the direction of stereo inputs and outputs. This makes sense to me since so many great effects are in stereo. It’s also better for guys who want to experiment with unconventional effects sequences, like putting reverb before distortion. Or, you could just split between 2 separate distortions.

    Yes, then I can see the point of a Bi-Muff (somewhat like the Mutron Stereo Bi-Phase). Two separate Muff units, each with their own set of dedicated controls, can be played in parallel through Mono/Mono Out, in parallel through Stereo Out (with the option of different settings in each unit), A > B through Dual Mono Out, or B > A through Dual Mono Out. And, of course, there would be endless possibilities of adding different effects and loops to either one or other, or both, of the Signal Out(s).

    I hope it made some sort of sense. Since I have two Metal Muffs and two working order Deluxe Big Muffs and the SMMH I suppose I should start experimenting.

    On a fuzz there’s nothing to pan. You can always add a second parallel output jack but it wont be stereo it will be a second jack, that is all.

    You guys are thinking mono in/stereo out. I think what OP was talking about was stereo in/stereo out. That way, you could put a stereo chorus pedal, or stereo reverb, before your distortion and keep it in stereo. Also, you could cascade them into each other… src=

    Yes. Once you start on the idea there are lots of possibilities.
