Hey everyone,
So I just bought an upgrade to my pedal board and have bought a Boss ES-8 Effects switcher (upgrading from a Carl Martin Octa Switch mk3) as I really want to be able to control my pedals with Midi and audio (and have the ability to reorder any pedal without needing to rewire anything). I have a few thoughts about routing stereo pedals and specifically how people using an H90 would plug it into the ES-8?
For Midi pedals I actually have an H90, Strymon Mobius, Timeline and Bigsky and Digitech Whammy and I want to be able to control all of them with the ES-8s midi capabilities. I’m just a bit confused with how I would plug them into the ES* as they are stereo pedals (and I want them to be stereo not mono). Loop 8 is a Stereo input and Stereo ouput so would daisy chaining the H90 and Strymons into Loop 8 work? Loops 1 – 6 are mono and I will be using them with my mono pedals. Loop 7 is a mono input with stereo output (so I’m wondering how to use this with stereo pedals)
Anyone with experience using an ES-8 with an H90 and willing to explain how they use them would be excellent.
Many thanks
Jono
