I have a stereo rig with a triaxis and a 20-20 plus a bunch of rack units for FX. All routing controlled wth a Switchblade. Currently I used the two Triaxis outputs for left right feeding into stereo FX but I do realize it is mono pre FX. Is there a difference between doing that versus only using one Triaxis output with a splitter cable, or in my case, splitting via the Switchblade which is equivalent?
Why does the Triaxis have 2 outputs?

The dual outputs are designed to output a sound in stereo. If you put a stereo effects unit in the triaxis' effects loop, you need two outputs from the triaxis to provide a stereo sound to the next unit (other effects or power amp). In the situation you have described (guitar->stuff-> triaxis->switchblade, electronically there is probably little difference between running the triaxis' two outputs or splitting it in the switchblade. However, there could be a slight tonal difference, because the switchblade likely adds a transformer in the splitting step, and the only difference between the two methods is one cable....
Thanks. The Switchblade is an integral part of my entire rig, so definitely not worried about tonal impact as it has none anyways, or whatever it has I have lived with for 10 years.
I understand that only one half of the V5 tube would be used if I use one TA output. I'm thinking instead to use both outputs and sum them in the Switchblade so the tube gets a more balanced load. Does this matter or not really?
