Stereo to mono with VP6165?

I have a stereo ES-345 and am looking for a way to easily use it as a mono instrument without "de-vintaging" it. Will the 6165 work for this if I plug a TRS cable from the 345 into input B and use output A to feed my signal chain?
 
(vDub huh! - any reference to the good ol' KdF wagon (beetle) - missing my '54 Oval)

Actually, it's shorthand for my initials, GVW. But, having those initials, I grew up with a lot of VW jokes. Hope the rumors that they're bringing back the Vanagon as an electric vehicle are true.

Thanks. Looks like it may do the job, though I may have to do some playing with the phase as the stereo Varitone on the ES-345 puts the pickups out of phase with each other. Have to see if I can get my hands on one to check before making a purchase.
