    4CM Sucking My Tone!

    Sorry to bring up an old thread. Cliff do you have any experience with the loop on a Diezel VH4? Is it any good? According to the manual it's output impedance is 4.7 kΩ. Is this "good"?. I'm fighting a lot with noise in 4CM and can't figure out why. Thanks
  22. sprada

    [SOLVED] Please help. Am I overlooking something with 4CM (Diezel VH4 and FM3)?

    Connected directly to the amp? It's pretty much silent. On Channel 2 it's around 59 dbs at gig level. With 4CM and FM3 at the same level is around 80dbs (with the Morley Humno went from around 80 dbs to around 73/74 dbs) (these measurments are done with the guitar volume roled off.)
  23. sprada

    [SOLVED] Please help. Am I overlooking something with 4CM (Diezel VH4 and FM3)?

    [SOLVED] Please help. Am I overlooking something with 4CM (Diezel VH4 and FM3)?

    I have just tested the Humno. It does get rid of most of the hum. However I think I've misevaluated the noise. Most of it was actually Hiss (when using the VH4 clean channel with hum gone it's pretty silent now) I believe the hiss comes from the OUT1 volume. It needs to be quite high to...

    Audio interface for AX8

    I needed something because the ax8 unlike the axe FX does not act like a sound card. So I needed something in order to be able to play and listen to music (PC) at the same time through my monitors. A small mixer would do. But a proper audio interface would leave more options for the future.
