Hey guys,
So I had my first rehearsal with the FX8 tonight. I have a few issues maybe you all can help and suggest some remedies. Sound wise the the FX8 sounds awesome the drive sounds just sound spot on. I had to tweak the level of the TS808 in one scene as it was a little soft. Once turned up though it was no problem. That brings me to my first issue.
How do you guys set your main levels? Are you altering the output mixer or boosting inside the preset blocks themselves? It just felt like the entire FX8 output level needed to be raised just slighty.
I have one preset with 2 scenes in. One is a clean chorus sound and then I switch to chan 2 on my amp with a delay block and then a filter block which is boosting to 6db for a solo. Although the filter block was boosting and at the end of the chain going into the fx loop of my amp it just seemed like it struggling eve though it was at 6db. An ideas? Should I boost the delay block? or boost the scene level instead of using a filter block?
Another issue I had this evening was on the same preset I have a pitch block which is set to whammy and a modifier assigned to my expression pedal. The modifier is set to auto engage medium speed. I did have it working via FX8 edit but I must of touched something as it now takes a 2-3 seconds before it engages. Its like a delayed response.
Any suggestions or help would be great.
Thanks guys
Paul
