Switching Between Paths
When using split path signal chains, you can use a footswitch or expression pedal to toggle or blend between each
path.
To toggle between split paths using a footswitch, use
the (4.6) Hardware Assign page to assign a footswitch to
this function in your rig. In the Hardware Assign page,
select the Signal Chain category of the Footswitch
Assignment Menu, and choose Path Mix: A <Switch> B.
Each press of the assigned footswitch will alternate
between the full top row split path in the rig being active
and the bottom row being muted, and vice versa. This
option can only be applied to split path rigs.
Note: You can also set this assignment as part of a Scene
by adjusting the Patch Switch parameter located at the
bottom of the Scene Assign page.
To blend between signal paths using an external expression pedal, use the (4.6) Hardware Assign page
to assign the external expression pedal to the Mix > A <Crossfade> B assignment.
(4.3.3) Stereo vs. Mono
The outgoing signal from HeadRush Core can be mono or stereo, depending on the models
in your rig, the signal path, and which outputs you are using. An indicator near the end of the
signal path indicates the current configuration.
The signal will be stereo if you do any one of the following:
•
Use any stereo effect model in your signal chain. Even if you have placed mono effect models after it. This
is possible because the mono effect is simply applied identically to both channels and not summed.
•
Use a split signal path, even if the split paths rejoin before the output.
•
Use a double-amp, double-cab, and/or double-IR configuration (i.e., if 2X is on).
The signal will be mono if you do all of the following:
•
Use no stereo effect models in your signal chain.
•
Use the linear (not split) signal path.
•
Use only single-amp and single-cab configurations (if you use an amp or cab model at all).
Alternatively, the signal will be mono if you do both of the following:
•
Use only the L/Mono output (of a stereo pair) on the rear panel.
•
Reduce the Rig Width output setting to 0%.
To adjust the width of the stereo field, tap the Out icon at the end of your signal path, and turn the third parameter
knob to adjust the Rig Width output setting. This affects stereo signals only, not mono signals. 100% uses the
full stereo field while 0% produces a mono signal.
