hey all,i wanna convert this plate to a stereo solid state version,


What you want to do seems to me to be to convert a valuable classic to a -
to be positive - less valuable hot-rod.

So what problem is it you want to solve by doing it?

My opinion: Do not do it. Leave as is. If you need stereo verb then use a
digital stereo verb or room simulator on its output.

Untested instinctive opinion based on experience. Stereo can be overrated,
some of the time what a vox needs is exactly a mono plate sound return. I
remember recording an oratorio where just that was what made vox sound
natural and at the proper place in the perspective in spite of being
spot-miked, a natural verb sound just didn't do it right.
