Just thinking in the bath.... If I wanted to put a stereo chorus at the end of my fx chain, and fed the PA with the stereo signal, panned L&R, could I split one of the output channels from the pedal so I could feed my amp, without it creating an imbalance in the stereo field on the PA side ?
Also, given that I'm using an ME50 for my reverb, the chorus would have to come after that... I've never tried chorus after reverb... Is it likely to be mushy shit ?

I assume you're not using the chorus on the ME-50 because you're using the modulation block for something else...
Chorus after reverb might sound like mush, or great - I'm not sure I've ever tried it.

That’s why I sold my original MIJ ‘long dash’ CE-2... the valuable one. The ME-50 was easily close enough.
You can use the ME-50 itself to split the signal to the amp and the PA, although a DI box with a ground lift - and preferably speaker emulation, since that on the ME-50’s output is poor - is a good idea.

I can't see how a DI would help me here though. Never mind, it was a bit of a daft idea!

I would keep all of that sensitive electrical equipment out of the bath to be honest. It'll get destroyed by water ingress and you may also get you knackers frazzled.
Which is why I would use a speaker-emulating DI box if you can (or two, in stereo). eg H&K Red Box, or Peavey EDI, or whatever the Behringer one is.
The left/mono normal output.
To eliminate the ground loop that connecting your signal path to both the PA and your guitar amp may otherwise cause.
This is one of the great things about the ME-50 - you can use it to split the signal to an amp and a PA at the same time. I haven't tried it in stereo, but I don't see any reason it won't work. I would try it without the DI boxes first and see if ground loops and the speaker emulation are an actual problem, and fix that if they are...

It actually sounded quite decent even without extra speaker emulation too - there's a little too much bass and if anything a little too *little* top end, but it can be EQ'd easily enough to sound very similar to the sound from the amp. So I'm not sure it does need the Red Box after all.
Correction - now I've put the PA cabinets at opposite ends of the workshop with the amp in front of me it sounds *epic* .

They're are absolutely ruining me!
