Stereo Effects Help

[REPTAR]

I have a couple of pedals that I don't use in my main setup, so I was thinking of building a mini pedalboard rig for my keyboard.  My keyboard is actually just a midi/usb controller for my computer, so the sound comes from the computer (trs).  I could probably set it up by just splitting the signal and running two channels. Basically I'd have one side going through a string of pedals, and the other side going through another.  But I think I'd rather try a stereo setup rather than dual mono (hope I used that terminology correctly).  So does anyone know how I could build a pedal for stereo instead of mono?  Would it require building 2 of the same pedal in one? Buffered splitter on the input and output?

It would require a stereo pedal circuit, otherwise,yeah it's dual mono. 2 pedals would sort of be dual mono also. They wouldn't work with each other to split the signal.

hmm... what about some type of stereo to mono conversion?

Stereo to mono conversion would still require the original signal to be stereo? You can get a mono splitter 1 to 2 like a cable from radio shack.

I mean use like a patch bay before the pedals to convert the stereo from the keyboard/pc to mono so I could use regular pedals.  Just need a schematic for stereo to mono I guess.

Oh I got you.you can just get a stereo to mono adapter,for a buck and a half.
