Volume Reduction during gigs.

Craiguitar, thanks for your input. We recently changed our lights to LED's (which hopefully reduces the draw as you say) but we added another bass cab to our PA system which slaves off the master bass cab which has all the PA amps within it (which therefore probably adds to the draw). I know...

Volume Reduction during gigs.

Hi Gorilla, Yes, good advice. If I ever get a break in our gig schedule (which is rare) I will do just that. It's a local venue. Rex, at some point I'll fathom this I'm sure. At the time of writing to you I'm wondering if the electrical draw from the PA, lights and other equipment isn't at the...

Volume Reduction during gigs.

Hi Rex, we don't use any venue's audio system. We just use their power.

Volume Reduction during gigs.

Hi Clive, Thanks for your message. The very first time that this happened to me was at Falmouth Football Club where the owner tells me that some other bands have experienced this problem (and therefore this is why I have always assumed it's a 'power supply thing' as opposed to a fault within my...

Will do Kriig. It will nag me until I get this sorted.

Volume Reduction during gigs.

Thanks Rex, I don't think it's the pedals as I have just manually checked and the pedals are staying put wherever they are set. I might re-calibate them though just to be on the safe side and give them a tweak to tighten them just a fraction. There are some good ideas here from the community...

Volume Reduction during gigs.

Maxdown - thanks for your input. Yes, always the same guitar so I am carrying a spare to gigs now as the thought had crossed my mind too. I have not seen any dimming or screen flickering and thanks for the technical advice although I'll let G66 carry out any repairs, I'm not great at that kind...

Volume Reduction during gigs.

Hi Rex, no it's always just me that's affected. At last night's gig there was no problem whatsoever and, taking Sockpuppet's advice, I was standing by with spare cables to start the process of swapping things in order to fault find....and yet everything behaved as it should. These intermittent...

Volume Reduction during gigs.

Good advice SockPuppet. Thank you. Yes, always at the venues (but not every venue) but never at home although I never use the wireless at home. I always take a spare amp with me so half way through last night's gig I swapped the Atomic for a Matrix GT100FX but the problem repeated itself so I...

Volume Reduction during gigs.

Hi, During the last few months at some of my gigs my equipment seems to lose 40 per cent output volume before returning to full power and it does this whilst I'm mid song or solo. Most frustrating. It does not happen at every gig, it's random and I'm convinced that it's down to the wiring...

Patch Volume Irregular

WITELITE - Ahhh, understood. Thank you. No, this is not the issue but I decided to upgrade to Firmware 14 which I did last night and, once I have worked my way through the patches, I'll update the MFC firmware too. Thanks for taking the time to help though, much appreciated.

Patch Volume Irregular

slinky005 - yes of course but as I have created 50+ patches which I use live and the release notes tell me that the new firmware may alter my sound, I am reluctant to do so. That said, if it cures the problem of course I must. The new firmware sounds good in theory, are you using it? WITELITE -...

Patch Volume Irregular

Hi, I wonder if anyone might be able to help me? At last night's gig when changing from a rock rhythm channel to my lead sound using an MFC -101 I encountered a problem. Sometimes - but not always - when the lead patch was engaged it was way too loud (sounds like 50% too loud) and I...

How to...?

Thanks Rook, I was a little slow on the uptake never having tried this before but I think your solution is probably the answer. Thank you.
