I previously wrote here:
If you put your main reverb in the 'Monitor' instead of Aux, you made a stereo Reverb. And as an xtra, in the bus panel, you can send some delay or so to the 'monitor'=reverb as well. This makes the reality feel stronger.

This seemed to me. This is not really true, because of the way most reverbs are built. Read on.

This depends on the reverb. Some have stereo inputs but sum this to mono, giving mono reverb regardless.

Here I wrote some blah blah about how good reverbs I have.

Little homework assignment for you: Listen carefully to the outputs of both your reverbs and tell me which one (if any!) is 'true stereo.' BTW - even some very highend reverbs are not!

Now that's a way to be sure I tested them w dry sound of, playing sequence of hard left, hard rigth panned samples. Here's what I came up with, quite to my surprise:

)-> MasterVerb Classic, MasterVerb, E-Reflector and STW 4080L mix both 'L/R In' to one common entry for the verb unit. When feeding them L/R, and switching 'stereo In' to 'left only', no difference is heard.

)-> Only the PT reverbs (I tested the 20 series) are built up of two parallel mono reverbs.

I'll correct my tip/trick above.
