Hello everyone!
Did I miss something? Can someone recreate the following behavior of the Axe?
(Please don’t come up with the that-can’t-be-It’s-impossible-thing. What I describe is really what I’m hearing and feeling while playing with MY guitar and MY Axe.)
Okay this happened: Weeks ago I found my absolute favorite guitar sound on the Axe. For more fun I added a Looper and after a while I noticed that somehow the real-amp-feeling (let’s say, which we all know since FW10. Now FW15 … Cliff is a genius) was gone. The playing wasn’t flowing anymore but now kind of sticky, so to say. I would simply say I lost gain, but I don’t know if it also has something to do with more latency or the CPU-Usage. As fare as I know it says: contrary to real-life, bypassed effects don't having any influence on the tone-quality of the Axe, right? Not here.
Later I also figured out that the Vol/Pan-Block does the same thing on my Axe. As soon as I replace them with Shunts, the “gain” and real-amp-feeling is back. On the other side, I can’t hear/feel any influence on the lets say “gain”, using other effects like chorus, delay or reverb.
So maybe I missed something and that behavior is obvious for all of you, but I’ve seen so many user-presets witch have allot of permanent bypassed Loopers and Vol/Pan-Blocks in line as their Basic-Preset-Structure. Do they all know and accept the loss of “real-amp-feeling” just to have a handy Basic-Preset?
For those of you, who want to here, see and re-create what I did with a user-preset from our forum:
(I don't what to make it more complicated, because of problems with re-amping (http://forum.fractalaudio.com/axe-fx-ii-discussion/87853-re-amp-problem-help-me-out-[seed].html )the described behavior wasn’t noticeable anymore. So I tried to play the same riff. But it doesn’t matter anyway, because you can try it on your own.)
