By default both inputs are a stereo pair. If you put a devider at the beginning of the chain and select the 'routing' parameter to 'selector' you will see the input has two separate lines/signal flow paths. Did you do this?

Edit: I meant 'divider'.

Thanks again @BEADist. I was able to get my Ric-O-Sound working using the Core. I had some Bleed over from one channel to the other at one point but got rid of it and then it came back. It was one of the settings I changed but don't quite understand it yet. I also have an effect in the Send/Return that I think is complicating things.

I really appreciate your reply and pointing me in the right direction.

I remember someone saying they were using the Core for Ric-O-Sound with their Rickenbacker. I have tried to get this to work but I just can't figure it out.

I can easily get both pickups into the core separately. I can also get output from both left and right core outputs.

The problem is there seems to be no way to keep the signals separate as they pass through the core.

Anyone who knows how to do this please help.

As BEADist wrote..use the divider right upfront.

Also you might already separate the input signal by choosing diff levels. I found the bass input signal to be slightly lower hence you might make up for it right here.

Finally I use FX2 and FX3 as switch kill. asign any fx to them but make sure level is set to "0". Once activated the channel is muted.

According to my set up right channel is bridge pu..consequently left channel is neck pu.
By muting one channel one can ever so slightly hear incoming noise. so not 100% separated pu signals. close enough for me though.

You could try to place those 'mute' fx blocks later in the chain. Although not getting input (when muted) those amp blocks (depending on how you use drive with them) can still generate some noise, that at least is my experience.

Thanks, I was missing the mixer mode being set to Pan L/R. With that set and the Divider in the front, I now have separate L/R signals out to my two amps.
 
My NPD turned into a New Pedal Week.

Day 1. Unpacking. Reading all the manuals. Noticed firmware is at 1.03. Going through most menus. Liking the interface. No playing yet.

Day 2. Firmware update. Checking all presets. Fine sound quality, but uninspiring presets (good - more room to make my own). Thinking about my signal flow.

Day 3. Replicating my bass pedalboard sounds. 75% there, with dirt, flanger and chorus. Found a bug/irritating functionality/insufficiently documented feature (difference between ”Show effect configuration” Play Screen and Edit Screen poorly explained in the manual).

Day 4. Testing routing options with my SY-200. Building synth effects chain with chorus, delay and reverb. Another bug (not able to adjust System input setting independently, keeps the same value as setting 1)? Loving the EQs. Everything sounds very good already,

Day 5. Back to manuals for explanations of output routing settings and some effects parameters. Wishing manuals were written a bit more thoughtfully.

Day 6. Just playing.

Day 7. Rethinking and redoing the whole signal chain. A new cycle begins.

For a gradual bending you have to assign a 'virtual expression pedal'/'internal pedal' as a source in the assign menu.

Edit: if you click right in the assign menu you see 'internal pedal' with 'trigger' , 'time' and 'curve' parameters. You already have set up a trigger so it should be easy.

Edit2 : after re-reading your post I think you did not set up a trigger but you set the CTL 1 as a source.
So, source should be INT PEDAL, trigger should be CTL 1. Hope this makes sense.

You folks awesome! And so is this pedal!

Could you use this to replace an A/B switch for input? For example:

- divider at the start of the chain
- Input 1 = ch 1
- Input 2 = ch 2
- If the patch uses instrument #1, set the divider to use Ch1/Input 1
- If the patch uses instrument #2, set the divider to use Ch2/Input 2
- If for some reason you want to use both inputs in the same patch, modify the divider to Dual

If I understand your question correctly, yes.

When the divider is set to 'selector' the channel is assignable to select between A (ch1/input1) and B (ch2/input2). And the mode is assignable to select between single and dual.

Strangely (on my device, not the latest firmware) you cannot switch (with assigns) the routing between stereo and selector but that would not be necessary for this application.

Edit: Aha, I did understand your question wrong:laugh:. You want to change the routing with the patch. That is much more easy, just save the patch with the selected routing. Forget what I said about assigning stuff, that is if you want to make changes in the patch haha.

so even tho the effect has a rise and fall time i still need to use the internal pedal? ill have a look later tonight

Yep, your edit is correct. Sorry if I was not clear enough on that. I use the GT with both an EB and EUB, and each instrument gets their own patches.

On one hand, it's great that I can now remove that A/B switch. :) On the other hand, I now have to take apart and redo my entire board... AGAIN... :bored:
