Mono in stereo out pedal in H90 Loop

[joshuacwhalen]

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Hi there. I’m a little confused on how this might work. I just got the Boss Dm-101 and right now am running it in mono. Works great. I would like to use it in stereo but it’s a mono in stereo out pedal. So I’m assuming I can put it in the loop out 3 and com back in on 3-4 is this correct?</p>
also how will that effect the stereo image in the device? For instance if I want to use the the DM 101 in between a stereo Chorus and Stereo reverb will the stereo chorus stay stereo, or flow through Mono coming out stereo through the DM-101? Thanks so much for your time and information!

Sorry, this configuration is not supported for the H90’s inserts. The device in the insert loop should be either mono > mono when using a mono insert, or stereo > stereo when using a stereo insert.

If you set the insert to stereo, but only connect output 3 to the device, you will only be outputting the left half of the signal since the stereo insert is outputting a stereo signal.

I am also hoping for this function. Signal chain:

bass -> H90 input 1

output 3 -> (mono in / stereo out) pedal -> inputs 3&4

outputs 1&2 -> stereo amp set up

output 4 -> dry amp

If this is currently not supported, is it a software issue that can potentially be resolved with a future update? Or is this a hardware issue, and there is no hope of this option with the current physical version of the H90?

On another note… currently, if you are running 2 separate amps for a w/d/w (and I assume also a wet/dry set up) and your using one of the inserts on the H90 to split the signal and send to the dry amp, when you bypass the pedal, you loose use of the amp that’s connected through the insert.  Is there an expected update that allows the insert path to be always on, even if the pedal is bypassed, so your signal is always going through both amps? My hope is to be able to use my 2 amps for the tone I want, which works best when they are both used in combination, but then when I use effects, I want one of the amps to handle that, while the other keeps the clean tone.  But I don’t want to loose use of 1 of the amps when I bypass the pedal.  Is this kind of update possible and in the works?

Hello,

A Mono in > Stereo out insert is something that could be supported in a future update. I cannot confirm that this will be added or provide a timeline, but I can log your request.

Your second request is also something that could be supported in a future update, but I cannot provide any further information.

You can use the Preset A+B bypass instead of bypassing the Program, and that will keep your inserts in the signal path.

Thank you for your reply.  I will strongly request both of those updates to be priorities.  I know… amongst ALL the other mounting priority requests lol.  Y’all are doing GREAT!

For the program bypass work around, I had read about the solution you provided in another forum indeed.  I’m still getting comfortable controlling the H90 on the fly in performance mode.  It’s certainly doable, just not the most efficient method of control when trying to bounce back and forth between multiple programs in bank or select mode.  I’m looking to get a midi foot controller at some point to hopefully make working in performance mode while still having access to multiple programs at the touch of a button, but for the time being, a program bypass with the insert always on option would be super convenient. Again, thanks for the timely reply and solution.
