Cascading pedals issue.

[rjd]

I swiched to individual pedals from using a multi effect. Now having issues with cascading the pedals. i managed to get the sound after my wah to distortion pedals. My problem is after the distortion, my chorus and delay seems not responding even after i cranked it to max. Anybody had this problem before? All pedals worked fine individually.

Hey, did you test out the patch cables you're using individually? Could be one of those!

Thanks for the suggestion. Found the problem was due to cable at stereo outlet in my chorus and selay will not give me any output. Strange man. both pedals some more.

For some stereo pedals, one output is an effected out and the other is a dry direct out. Do your pedals have this design?

That I'm not so sure. I'm referring to my BOSS CE-5 Chorus and Beta Aivin Digital Delay. You have any ideas?

Use the Mono input and output of each pedal unless you're running two amplifiers. In most pedals it would be input/output "1" instead of 2.

Also does this issue persist when you run it without dirt?

Yeah bro. same issue clean and dirty. you mean i could only use the stereo if i'm running 2 amps?
with mono, i could get the sound with 1 amplifier.

Stereo would mean you are using two amplifiers at once.
Mono would mean you are using one amplifier only.

If you are using a stereo set-up, your mono pedals would enter your stereo pedals (Pedal A output 1 to Pedal B input 1 at the same time Pedal A output 2 to Pedal B input 2) before entering 2 amps (Pedal B output 1 to amp 1 and output 2 to amp 2).
Some pedals have stereo panning like a short delay between output 1 and 2 to give the wider stereo image. Some pedals have the effected signal on output 1 and DRY on ouput 2.

I believe since you are using output 2 ONLY, you are getting only the dry sound with the pedal engaged. Since you are running a mono set-up, you do not gain anything from using the second stereo output. Hence, refrain from using that and stick to output 1 which is mono for your pedals to function properly.
