    Global Input Impedance?

    No there isn't. Just an FYI, unless you have an effect block active at the front of the chain that changes the impedance, it will use 1m (edit for correctness). it works like a much like the real effects would.

    Just a note for those the use the Esoteric RCB, to get the volume level back to what it was prior to 15, increase level by ~3db I think this was done to get the levels closer to the real pedal. BTW the included UltraRes cabs are outstanding.

    I wouldn't like that at all, not at alll. Depth is the maximum amount of delay time width. Some sort of scaling parameter would work w/o changing existing presets.

    settings when using w/ Mesa 2:90 poweramp

    Just be aware with the 2:90 that even though you are not probably driving the power amp into saturation, it does color the tone especially in the deep mode. You will want to compensate for that. Like everyone suggested best to start from scratch. Try it both ways, see which one works for you.

    On the XL, they still have the old connectors as well so that is not entirely correct, however, they have been moved away from each other. The Ethercon connections do not stop you from plugging a usb cable in them.

    Flanger

    odd harmonics is negative feedback on the Axe-fx. I did a MOAEE of the A/DA flanger here: Fractal Audio Systems Forum - Recent Blogs Posts - Blogs The EHX Electric Mistress actually does the steel drum type thing better IMO.
  45. javajunkie

    You just need one relay plugged into the footswitch jack of the amp. Most TRS relays will allow off, tip and ring, tip, or ring. since it is only a TS switch on the blackstar, off and tip will probably switch it.

  49. javajunkie

    Flanger

    Short delay times are ,of course , more traditional sounding, but sometime strange is cool. Like I said, delay does more than fine in these cases. It is actually quite amazing, especially since you added the negative feedback.
  50. javajunkie

    Flanger

    Depth is the range of minimum delay to maximum delay that is modulated. If you turn depth to 0 you get a static very short delay. That is how you get the Filter Matrix sound of the EHX Flanger. Mix is the amount of wet and dry signal.
  51. javajunkie

    Flanger

    Yep, I know where flanging originated. I can't think of a pedal flanger that does not offer feedback today though. Ahhh, I did not remember that was the minimum time. Still for the max delay range of the A/DA .4-14ms you would need to use the delay. Which works extremely well for that.
  52. javajunkie

    Flanger

    Also drive before the phaser or flanger can sometime bring out the effect more. I'll often time put them after the amp/cab.

    Not just for looping. you can use it for any line level signal input 1 or 2. Also, if you need a stereo signal in. There are plenty of wireless units that put out line level signals. The special sauce (a soft limiter and high freq noise reducer) is hard wired to the front input.
