Simplest way to do it is to upgrade to a delay with expression facilities (Strymon TimeLine, Eventide TimeFactor, etc.) which can be used for wet/dry or any other parameter. Another advantage of the "big boys" is they give you the option of true stereo or dual delays - which come in handy when you do upgrade to a two amp rig. Two amps is real nice, BTW, but a real pain in the ass to gig with.
Otherwise, for now - the outputs of your delay will already be buffered, so I'm pretty sure you can take wet and dry outs separately, use a low-Z volume pedal on the wet output and simply combine the two signals together again (or, if you get too much interaction between wet and dry, use a two channel mixer).
If you also do ambient things where the volume of the delays is louder than the dry signal, you would have to find one of the Stereo Ernie Ball pedals that offers a "balancing" mode - where all the way back will be all-dry and all the way forward will be all-wet. I haven't looked at EB's range for a while, but they used to have a pedal that could do this (had a switch on the side to swap between stereo volume and balance modes).
I'm running stereo (or rather, two channel) at the moment, but my signal is stereo from the source - with piezo pickups being the second channel and an Eventide doing the dual delay thing (with separate delay times and settings for each channel ?).
Nice!!
I know the stereo rig is a hastle, but I already run a head into a 4x12 cab, so it'd only be a case of adding another head and another few cables. (I've accepted the fact i'll always cart a lot of gear around ? )
Funnily enough, i've tried the flashback through a two amp, stereo rig, and all it does is send the same signal to both outputs (unless you set it to ping pong mode, but then you don't get the delay sound you wanted). I was pretty upset about that... (stupid design)
The strymon Timeline looks simply righteous (I can't believe that first choral sound on Strymon's Youtube demo!!), and well seems worth saving up for!
Thanks Alan
