Weird Pedals and the stereo field

[Warpsmasher]

Turns out, an extra cab sim between two drive stages can be some reeeally special kind of shit, almost like cocked wah type filtering with other frequency cuts and boosts, and lots of different notch ranges, affecting pick attack, dynamics, headroom and everything. If you have a way to try some of this, it's fucking rad.

I was working on a mix earlier this year and just threw Audiothing Speaker on a guitar part as a mistake and immediately it MADE it work. Because of the lofi speaker/mic combos you can get with it, it starts to act similar to what you describe. Now it is the first thing I try if I don't like something and if I want to split a guitar into stereo, is a great way to spread it out a bit, putting one lofi speaker on one side and a different one (or not at all) on another.

More cab sound in the whole sound just seems like a good idea to me...as long as it's not a muffling blanket all over your tone, it's just going to put the feel in a different place, or more than one place.
I used to hate hardpanning shit, but this application has become my exception, it's just so sledgehammer simple and effective.
I found a multiverse of impulse responses on soulseek and got option overload pretty fast. Every kind of cab from every which position with all kinds of mics, with and without tubescreamer, etc...and then there's the reverbs, it's just too much. I have a few favorites loaded into the Radar, and beyond that I don't really need anything more than a basic set of stock sounds out of my sims. I do still get surprised sometimes when I try some new IRs, but that's a rabbit hole for some other time...

Back to this thread, because the new Montreal Assembly pedal is exactly the kind of thing I was thinking about. It won't bring instant chaos on both channels -it's just an overdrive- but could very well be surprising. (and inspire other builders?)

What I'm interested to try with this pedal is to use a TRS splitter cable on the output and run the separate channels through separate effect chains and then back into my audio interface. Should have it sometime next week.

That's exactly why I want it too, let us know how it is! Currently using an old Arion Metal Master for this, it just has distortion on/off for the extra output though, and it cuts out for a few ms when engaged.
