i did about 12 years ago.
i used it to blend from one amp (set clean) to a second amp (set for crunch).
it was awesome.
one of my few former rigs i really miss.
i used very few effects at the time so my chain was probably something like
wah>pan>(clean side)-ts9>chorus>mesa blue angel head
(dirty side)- mesa boogie .50cal+ head
each head went into half of a 4x12 wired in an x patern for stereo, the blue angel running into a pair of celestions and the >50cal into a pair of evs.
it was ripping!

I used a EB stereo pan pedal for years with a clean amp one side and a drive amp on the other. As stated above, it sounded great and you could blend clean and drive at any variable point on the pedal.

It is still on my board but I have scaled down on my amps and so only bring one. It can be configured for two amps in just a second.

First was a Rolls RFX412 that I got first to use for muting during tuning, and also to pan between magnetic pickups>amp and piezo>mixing board. The second use never really took for me so I just ended up using it as a stereo volume pedal to do end of song fadeouts.

I switched it for a Morley optical volume/pan but I was so used to the taper of the Rolls I've never really gotten the hang of fading on it and mainly use it for muting. I'm due for doing a mod on it that may help.....

thus my addiction to Fender amps

Valvulator into a TS2 tuner into EB stereo volume... kick switch screwed pan only. Forward pedal runs through a Radial Tonebone - Delay pedal - channel 1 of Fender Vibrolux or Musicman Hd-212. Pedal rocked back - tube screamer, chorus, wah, post- tube screamer, Echo - into channel two of amp. I can have any of the pedals activated/deactivated in the two chains... and blend at will. Have been hooked on this set-up for 15 years. Only problem is ... it's not optical. Have had to rebuild or re-string the pedal every year or so... will drive you nuts if it decides to break a controller string or come off the roller track mid set... but 99% of the time... it's worth the hassle.

Wildandy... that is a cool setup... I am thinking that this is sort of like a virtual-analog-midi substitute to blend and pan effects in real time?! very cool...

i used an ernie ball vol/panning pedal for a while, but the pan wasn't that smooth from one side to the other. cool way to switch from one source to another without an immediate click, but i also felt i was losing some signal/tone from it as well. switched to a keeley looper, done.

different kind of panning, i had an Ibanez Flying Pan. the flange was ok, a little weak, but kick in the stereo panning with it an hooboy hello 70's!

wow... my setup is like this....

Guitar into my SKB pedal board> lots of effects (mono) and finally into a Boss DD-20 which I send back to the SKB board. I then take the two sends out into a Leslie G37 and either an Orange amp or my Ampeg VT40... or maybe something else depending on what i feel like messing around with....

So what I was thinking of doing was taking the DD20 outputs directly into a panning pedal and using these to pan between amplifiers.... I think that at full groove mode to pan into the Leslie might send some girls in the audience right to there knees, but I could just be really optimistic.

with the ernie ball pan vol pedal, going from one to the other A to B would result in a volume drop - LOUD A-soft a/b-LOUD B. so that was annoying.

I had one. It was mesmerizing playing in a two amp stereo rig.

I have an EB one. It doesn't seem to be a complete pan to one side, meaning I still hear amp A when I pan over to B. I need to see if it's set up correctly...

What I use it for more for is before my stereo Boss RT20 and Echo Park, I set the pan to amp A so I only hear the second amp when using these stereo effects.
