sorry forgot to mention (and this IS my last post) that when a company takes your money for a product they sell AND the product DOES NOT do what the manual and other company literature says it does (ping pong problem with stereo inputs) AND has a major bug in mode switching, then the company is obligated to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. If this was a car product or a toy or ANYTHING then the company would offer the paying customer some means of satisfaction whether it be a FREE SERVICE FIX or a REBATE. EH has done nothing, further compounding the problem. It is not only the fact that there is an obvious major bug, it is the fact that EH either is not aware of the bug or has chosen to remain silent. SO either EH is incompetent or dishonest or both. TO me that is basic logic, and unfortunately Q.E.D.
Good bye forever!@!!!gonzaldoMembercan’t cut some slack, as this is a huge basic error that should have caught before release. Whether this is a small company or a huge company is irrelevant. A bug is a bug is a bug and it is a bad big bug that speaks volumes about a company’s claim of being thorough (or not). I refuse to believe I am the first user to discover this problem. Perhaps I am the first poster on this forum to mention it, don’t know that. I live with the bugs as I enjoy the sounds the pedal provides. But as soon as I can afford the purchases, I am running to Strymon for their Blue Sky Reverberator and one of their 3 terrific delay pedals. I did trade some overdrive pedal for a MXR Carbon Copy and I am happy to report that the CC and Cathedral Reverb work very well together creating a lush 3D sound when using 2 amps. The 2 pedals sound better (to me) together than individually. No there is no work around. I have to unplug the CR and then turn it back on. It would be nice if a future version fixed up these bugs and added the ability to store more than 1 setting per mode. But I suspect this experience of discovering bugs has tainted my desire to spend any more bucks on EH products. This was, and is, the only EH pedal I like. I have tried a bunch of other EH pedals, and found the tones way too harsh and shrill. No I am not being overly critical, just honest. But hey, I don’t care if you disagree. Each to his own. I won’t post anymore. It seems the medium of the message means more to you than the message contents. Look at the facts not how I deliver them. EH has failed their users in a professional sense, to me that is painfully obvious. They have lost me, and their loss is Strymon’s gain.

Quoting John: “We have to look into this. It could be a software bug. Actually when you plug a cable into the RIGHT Input, only the right input’s signal should come out of the RIGHT Output, but it’s not quite doing this.”
Yes there is bleed, even the dry sound is not arriving at the 2 amps at the same time. Yikes! You would think there would be a button/switch to enable ping-pong effect or ‘arrive at same time’ effect, but no such luck…
Going by the manual notes, putting the A/B pedal BEFORE the Cathedral Reverb is supposed to negate the Ping Pong effect, but it doesn’t do that. I think that is either a bug, or a badly written manual, which confuses me to no end…
That being said, it appears I will have to pawn a relative to be able to afford the Strymon pedals. That is the real resolution, get a really good delay pedal (or 2 or 3 cause Strymon just OWNS the high end of the delay pedals market, in my not so humble opinion…)
Thanks for the help! ( http://old.thesixtyone.com/bacal)

That is the solution, the delayed sound arrives at both amps at the same time. The only drawback, maybe you can figure this one out, is how to be able to also get the ping pong sound without having to remove the A/B pedal, i.e be able to get either the delayed sound arriving at same time and the ping-pong mode delay by doing something other than removing the A/B.
( I must be nuts. I like this pedal’s sounds a lot. I chose it over Lexicon’s mod/time factor. Strymon’s demos blow me away. If I ever got rich I think they would make good friends. But I will never dump the Cathedral. It is a friend for life.)
