Nice pedal, with a MAJOR FLAW which none of you so-called professionals have ever reported: the B output blocks the signal when the pedal is switched off, making it useless for two instruments plugged in unless you want the effect on all the time. Is there a way around this very annoying issue??
I don't think it's intended for 2 instruments simultaneously, i think Output B just gives you a fully wet signal. It's more for output/mixing options. But if you had an A/B/Y Switchbox you could run 2 instruments into that, then run that into the Boss RV-6, that'll get you 2 instruments running into one effect. That's the only solution i can think of?
@musicmaker6860 thank you for taking the time to reply. I'm using it for two vocal microphones, actually. Yes the B output is wet only, the user manual does mention that and the issue I mentioned. My fault, should have read it before. In the mean time, I found that running the pedal after another stereo effect such as the Boss RC1 blends the two signals, meaning both the A and B outputs of the RV6 are a blend of the two mic signals. I think what you said about the A/B/Y box does something similar. It works okay for the type of vocals we do in my band, but I also tried plugging my guitar and the other guitarists guitar into the RV6 and it turned out a mess so we will keep using it for the vocals only!
@@Ivan-cl9hc Ah, okay, it's news to me too! Glad you found a way around it though. I'm constantly messing with inputs/outputs and trying to find ways around similar obstacles myself. I'm sure a ton of soundmen laughed at my set up numerous times, but that's all part of the fun for me. Safe to say i dig your style!
