Hi. We have a summer break from gigging right now and wanted to upgrade our rack live system for proper stereo.
The last few gigs we have decided that we need to switch panoramas during live shows because when the Solo hits it stays on one side and it sounds empty (dull), also the same problem with the cleans.
We want to be set L and R but when the solo comes in the solo should switch to the middle with the rhytms... the catch is we have stereo IEM so while we are monitoring ourselves the in ear mix should stay all the time in the center.
How is this possible to achieve? Or route?
I personally use Helix Lt and my co-guitar player FM3. running through a splitter into a behringer X32 and into our IEM. My first thought would be to use 2 xlrs as stereo which would go into our splitter and then into our mixer and then 2 line (jack cables) into another patchbay or splitter which would go into our in ears and do presets on both units where only the XLRs would change the L+R sides while the Jack Outpurs would stay in center...
If you have any other idea or experience to share it would be awesome!!!

Interesting! I've had similar thoughts for our band in mind. I've gathered a little bit of info, but only Kemper related. But maybe that helps.

You can run 2 XLRs from the Kemper to your X32 to be able to work with Stereo. For every RIG (Amp + Cab + Effects) you can either chose mono or Stereo. So when switching RIGs on stage you can switch from Mono to Stereo. After that it gets blurry for me as well, so I'm excited to see what other answers you get.

My thought process is: If you start in mono, you would have one channel that does not deliver any sound unless you turn it to Stereo in which case both channels would have an output. If these channels are panned left and right by your FOH you should get Stereo sound as soon as you change your RIG (presuming this works similar with your FX devices).
