Stereo Operation

Standard Stereo (no FX loop)

Stereo operation for amps without an FX loop is also simple – simply patch the mix/direct output from

the Memory Lane 2 into the first amp's guitar input, and patch the delay only output into the second

amp's guitar input. With this setup, signal only goes to the second amp when the delay is turned on. The

Mix control on the Memory Lane 2 will control the level of delayed signal going to the second amp.

Stereo with Parallel FX Loop

Stereo operation for amps with a parallel FX loop is somewhat reverse to the serial FX loop stereo setup.

Patch the FX send output of the main amp into the input of the Memory Lane 2, then patch the delay only

output back to that same amp, and the mix/direct output out to the second amp. This setup is cool as

both amps get direct signal allthe time (you're essentially slaving the second amp from the first), with the

first amp also getting the delayed signal when the Memory Lane 2 is turned on.

Stereo with Serial FX Loop

Stereo operation for amps with a serial FX loop is a touch more involved. Patch the FX send output of the

main amp (likely the one with channel switching distortion) into the input of the Memory Lane 2, then

patch the mix/direct output back to that same amp, and the delay only output back to another amp

(probably one with a clean channel or no channel switching). Like the simple stereo setting above, signal

only goes to the second amp when the delay is turned on. Also, with this setup, any tube distortion from

the main amp will still be routed through the delay path and out to the second amp.

FX Loop Send Levels

Some amplifiers have variable or switchable FX loop send and/or receive levels. On the send side, simply

set the amp's send level so as not to cause any distortion in the delay path even when strumming hard. If

send levels are extremely hot and fixed to one level, there is a small jumper in the Memory Lane 2 that can

be set to an alternate position to pad down the input signal as it comes into the delay path. This alternate

jumper setting is shown in the picture below:
