I will try the stereo bus for the mono guitar and bass tracks then.

I have tried a demo plugin that has 8 outputs. In this case Ardour
will show (see attached) a 'spatial' round control to move the audio
around, at least left to right in stereo. Once this control is there I
haven't found the way to remove it but moreover, now I would like to
use the same control on other regalar stereo tracks - is it possible ?

we are working on ways to control the number of outputs from "multichannel" (>2) plugins.

the control you've seen is Ardour's VBAP panner. it exists because you have multiple channels and so a normal panner cannot be used. You can't use it with tracks/busses with <3 outputs, and you wouldn't want to. It is generally best to forget that the VBAP panner exists, especially when it comes to multi-output plugins (which are themselves a horrible abberation.
