Stereo Distortion/Overdrive?

[Eric Scholz]

So does anybody know any stereo Distortion/Overdrives? I'm looking for 2 ins and 2 outs, with the effect on both outs.

I don't know of one. Most guitarists like to have OD early in the signal chain, so maybe one solution is to use a regular mono OD before the signal gets split into stereo? Just a thought.

Most stereo guitar rigs I've seen usually split with stereo chorus at the end of their signal chain, but on second thought aren't most line 6 rigs stereo for that matter?

I'm sure there are one or two others, but the first that comes to mind is the (don't laugh) Arion Stereo Metal Master:

I personally love Arion - yes, they're plastic and cheesetastic, but they can usually be found for cheap for that very reason, and typically sound surprisingly good. I remember hearing from another bass player that he dug the Stereo Metal Master, but I can't remember who... in any case, it certainly wouldn't cost much to try it out...

Also, Line6 made the ToneCore platform for use with switchable sound modules - they offered a stereo dock with two ins and outs. I never tried any of their OD/fuzz modules, so I can't testify to the actual sound quality, but they meet the 2 in, 2 out requirement.

I see that Arion have only one input, is this input stereo?
