My hearing is very good, in fact.
Men, it takes less time to check it by yourselves than it takes me to write this (again):
Put a reverb block, in series, at the end of the signal chain (well, I'm using Spring Reverb, maybe it only happens with it).
Then put the mix control to 0. You'll hear no reverb at all. Only the dry signal.
Then turn the Mix control to 100%. What do you hear? Yes; only the reverb. No dry signal.
As you turn up Mix, you get more reverb and less dry signal.
Now, if you're interested in it, put the reverb in parallel. Turn Mix and Level to 100% and Input Gain to 0 and start increasing that Input Gain. Or turn Mix and Input Gain to 100% and Level to 0 and start increasing that level.
What do you hear? Yes; as you turn up Input Gain or Level, depending on the way you choose, you get more and more reverb but the dry signal is always there, at the very same level.
That's the way things work in my AX8. Is yours different?
It looks easy, but it is.
Maybe there are other parameters that would make it act differently. I don't know which ones could be.
