    Latency with wah response

    I prefer 'Fast Pos'. But more importantly, I set auto-engage to 95% (toe down=Off) instead of the default 5% (heal down=Off). It turns Off at toe down, sort of like traditional Wahs. Minus the switching action, of course It's less likely to get bumped, or move from vibration from the sound...

    Anyone else pre-order the new SPARK CAB powered FRFR ?

    I'm guessing that the two tweeters might be for some stereo image? Maybe the 10" is mono and the tweeters are stereo. My JBL Bluetooth speaker is setup that way. At that price, two would make a nice backline. Assuming that they sound any good.

    Acoustic Sim preset?

    My main reason to pop into this thread initially was to defend @fremen. His credentials and history here are impeccable. But, here is a clip of my old AX8 Acoustic Sim preset with some 'Multi-Delay' added, using my EBMM Axis bridge pickup. The Gen 3 unit versions sound better IMHO.

    Three Guitars + Three FC-6; possible right?

    I am assuming that you want to run all three independently, direct to FOH. The main issue is that you can only run two Amp blocks at one time. You may be able to get by with a Drive block for the Bass? And share one of the Stereo Cab blocks? As far as the three FC pedals, you could get them...

    Offset Tuning For A Single Preset

    You can turn the tuning offsets feature on and off. And you could put that switch on one of the global performance page slots for easier access. But I can't think of any way to link it's on/off state to a specific preset without using a midi to send the correct 'sysex' message.

    Looper playback level control with switch ?

    That's a horse of a different color. This would still give you four levels via the four Vol/Pan channels -3, -2, -1, and 0. The most versatile would be an expression pedal attached to the Playback Level.

    Looper playback level control with switch ?

    The 'Playback Level' parameter in the looper is available for manipulation via a controller, but maxes out at '0 dB'. So adding volume isn't a possibility. You could however put it in a parallel path (with the Dry Level set to '0') and put a 'Vol/Pan' block just after. Then use a switch to...

    The 'Tone Match' block can be amazing. But using it for 'off-line' matches is still a bit of an art form. You have to dial in the gain, distortion texture, tone, and any pre-EQ by ear first. Then you have to play the piece as close as humanly possible to how the original player played it. If...
