    No Output after inserting a Volume Block.

    My main preset has a Volume block set to be controlled from External 1, but I get no Volume output until the Volume block is bypassed. I tested to see if it was a corrupted preset, by inserting a Volume block in a random preset, but got the same result... no output until the Volume block is...

    Pitch Down Preset difficulty...

    I've tried to insert a Pitch block at the front of my grid, and tune it down a half step, but all I seem to get it a hollow/phased sound out of it ( like a reel flange stuck at the start of it's flange )...!?

    First test of IR capture using one of my Mesa Thiele's... It is Cap Edge 0", EV MD408 into Focusrite ISA430. Let me know if this works. It doesn't have a lot of low end thump... mostly mids and highs from being cap edge and close mic'd... but adds to the tonal palette... Mark

    Own hammer price increase !? WTH !!??

    I purchased the complete own hammer library for my Ultra, when they came out, and did the upgrade when the AxeFX II came out, and the cabs were $3 each. He was VERY helpful at that time. But NOW, the cabs are $10 each !!?? WTH !! What warrants a price increase of more than 333% !!?? Guess...
