Topic: How to hook up the Strymon El Capistan (stompbox) in stereo

Hi there..

I have been using a T.C. G-Major 2 for quite sometime patched in stereo through the Fireface 800. I am miking and recording Flamenco guitar. The sound has become to sterile and digital for me so I have decided to get the Strymon El Capistan (Tape echo simulator) pedal to patch in as it is way warmer and should be the missing link set at a very subtle level.

My question is: My G-major has 2 inputs and 2 outputs for stereo.

The Strymon pedal has 1 input and 2 outputs.

How would I patch this in to the F-800 to get full stereo? I realize that this was meant for a guitar to be plugged into it.. but can't I still patch it (IN STEREO) and use the effect on my mic? :roll

Here is the unit replacing the g-major. It does work in line levels.

HI,
This will depend more on what software you use to record with.
The best way to use this pedal would be as a effect send/return in your software.
