Stereo volume pedal: alternative use

[pippiultima]

Hi I'm Andrea. Sorry for my language, I'm Italian.

Before buying the 500K Stereo/Pan Volume Pedal

(P06165), I need to now if anyone ever use it with

input sound of two microphones. I try to explain:

My dream is the panning stereo guitar solo like Vernon

Reid of Living Colour, when I play in big events.

Instead of use two amplifier with two cabinets and in

front of each, a microphone (Shure SM57, into the mixer

in 2 channels, one straith left and the other straight

right), I would like to try to put the 2 microphones in

front of the same cabinet and before enter into mixer,

pass trought the 500K Stereo/Pan Volume Pedal (P06165).

Do you think possible?

Thanx, Pippi

Welcome to the forum Pippi!

What you are trying to accomplish is possible, but there are a couple of ways to do it depending on how you want the PA to sound. Assuming you want the PA to pan your guitar back and fourth from left to right, here is what you do:

-Put ONE mic in front of your amp, and plug it into the "A INPUT" of the 6165 Pan Pedal.
-Connect the "A OUTPUT" of the 6165 into channel 1 of your mixer (pan the channel hard left)
-Connect the "B OUTPUT" of the 6165 into channel 2 of your mixer (pan the channel hard right)

This technically isn't the most ideal way of doing it, but it is the most minimalistic, and should give you good results.

Let us know how it works!

Yes, only 1 mic, it's the same... I will try and then tell you... my problem was only to know if the volume pedal could have problems or not operate with a different (I think so...) instrument resistance. But I was almost sure that there are no problems because also microphones like shure sm57 are passive instruments. Mah... only the brave, let's try! The problem now is: where buy it?

In the united states it cost 200$ --> ~145€
In Italy the price waves from 250€ to 300€ --> ~350$ to ~420$ and is difficult to find it to try: I only can order and wait.

I'll tell you!

Thanx, Pippi
