    Anyone successfully connecting AxeFX SPDIF out to an interface?

    I ordered a couple more of the converter boxes as it seems that's the only questionable bit at this point. Audient suggested I get a "name brand" but the only branded ones I find are just random Chinese boxes with funny brand names. Anyone know of a box that is made by a reliable manufacturer?

    Wish Change bypass/engage speed for the Pitch block (as was done to Wah in 21.02)

    OK, then modify this request to apply only to the Whammy models. As it is, there is no way to avoid some transitory blip even with the "GoldenWhammy" crossfade trick. You might not hear it in a mix or with a high gain signal, but trying to do a "bar-dip" with a clean tone it is too noticeable.
