I've been using a Canvas Stereo at the tail end of the pedalboard I use for lead and lap steel guitar with a band (tuner / Greer Lightspeed boost / analog delay / Fender Tre-Verb / Walrus ACS1 / Canvas Stereo). But for solo gigs I put together a minimal board (tuner / analog delay / reverb / ACS1), and for that I knew there would never be a need for stereo. The CANVAS MONO is dead simple to use and totally worth it if you are playing through an amp/cabinet simulator into a typical P.A. system. Canvas and ACS1 are perfect together. Together, they've helped me make peace with performing without a tube amp on stage.
