    Is there a way to increase the amp gain without changing scenes?

    From another discussion, but I think that it also applies here too.. Sometimes I like to do gain, volume, pre-EQ, and post-EQ, outside of the Amp block, mostly to keep things seamless. But it comes in handy if a client wants to use a 'global' Amp block in multiple per-song presets. You can use...

    Cleaning Up Higher Gain Amps

    Sometimes I like to do gain, volume, pre-EQ, and post-EQ, outside of the Amp block, mostly to keep things seamless. But it comes in handy if a client wants to use a 'global' Amp block in multiple per-song presets. You can use the same identical Amp model, but with very different sounds in...

    Simple? need set up assistance - got most of it.

    When you Bank up or down, no preset in the new bank should be selected until to use a switch to select one of the five presets displayed. The green LED rings should all be flashing.

    The factory 'Preset' layout should do this, though it is configured for a bank size of 10. If you really want a bank size of 5, then you will have the top five switches available for something else. This is a new game.. Read up on the switch 'Layouts'.

    Assign FM3 knobs to amp controls?

    Actually the Performance pages (one Global and one Per-preset) have 10 possible parameters, two rows of 5 knobs. Just about an parameter from any block can be dragged and dropped into these pages. Example... 'Global' Performance page.. Top row.. Drive, Bass...

    Can you assign it to the switch that was previously running your tuner? Min to 0 and the maximum to 100.?
  8. Moke

    Seeking Tuner Solution

    hmmm, I haven't tested this.. But maybe a Control Switch assigned to the 'Volume' parameter instead of a Pedal would work? You could even use a custom name on that Control Switch of 'Tuner'. EDIT... Nope... but the 'Tuner on Heal down' function can be directly assigned to a particular switch.

    If you are using an expression pedal for volume control, You could use the option that engages the Tuner when the volume is at '0'. Then turn off the 'Mute' option for the Tuner.

    Yes it's a new parameter. That's a bug. It was supposed to have been fixed in the latest firmware? It should be set to 5 to have no effect. I used the 'batch' function to change it to '5' in all channels of all presets for Drive 1, then 2, then 3 (just in case), I have never used Drive 4.

    Tuning and Virtual Capo Question

    Help me think through a preset design?

    Another thought is to have four channels of drives in a single Drive block as your pre-amp EQ and gain boost. Each with a specific drive model that is dialed in for each amp channel. Then have the Drive block switch channels to match the Amp channels via scenes. Then also do the same thing with...

    Sounds like you might be using the 'Save as' option with the same block name. If so, the computer amends the name with a (1), or (2), etc.. to differentiate it from others with the same name. If you use the 'Save' option and the block name is the same name and type, it will overwrite the original.
