Ghosts default routing

Jaak
I’m curious why Ghosts is mono in / mono out by default? Is there any advantage to this versus stereo?
Most of your pedals are stereo in/stereo out with TRS or mono with TS cables.
I see in the manual how it can be changed to SISO; just wondering with the default is MIMO and whether that adds an advantage to Ghosts’ operation or sound?

In SISO mode, Ghosts’ left channel excites three resonators and the right channel excites the other three.

In MIMO or MISO mode, the one input signal excites all 6 simultaneously.

We figured there would be many people who 1. Don’t read the manual and 2. Immediately plug a guitar into the pedal with TS cables.

By defaulting to mono-in, mono-out, it guarantees that those people have a good first experience with Ghosts and don’t lose half the resonators.

We figured the people who want stereo are more likely to read the manual and figure out how to set that setting.

It’s a set and forget setting, once you do it, Ghosts will remember it between power cycles.

Thanks. I am planning to place it in a stereo guitar rig, but it might be worth trying MISO as well to see the difference. Right now, I have the CB Clean compressor as the MISO pedal going to full stereo. I also recently got the OBNE Signal Blender Stereo, which has made a huge difference in running two effects channels separately and combing them at the end with clean guitar.

I know what you mean about not reading manuals, however, I’d bet most people who get a pedal as elaborate and complex as Ghosts, Ribbons, or Sparks are going to read the manual.

@jaakjensen i already own the Sparks and the manual to that is really a piece of art!.
Cant wait to get my hands in Ghosts, i should be among some of the first preordered.
