Going Stereo with EBS Microbass III and Boss CEB-3?

Hi,

I've just ordered an EBS Microbass III preamp and see that you can run the fx loop in stereo. I want to use my Boss CEB-3 chorus pedal with it (which can also be run in stereo) and wondered how you would go about wiring them together?

The CEB3 has two outputs. One for the chorus mix and the other as a dry output.

Many thanks for any help

In order to run a stereo mix on stage you will need 2 or 3 amplifier / speaker cabinets, no other way to run stereo. With 2 amplifiers you have 2 options can run either left / right signals or images but on bass what actually works better is to run a wet / dry mix. With a 3 amp set up you can run a left / right image and a mono center image either dry or wet but different from the stereo signal.

While it is a lot of fun to play with these options in the practice room or in a recording mix it is not really practical in any live situation as bass really becomes a mono signal, even guitar, drums and keyboards are very challenging to create a "stereo" image in a live setting and require a lot of processing.
