    Looper FX Decay

    Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, I've tried that however I'm switching to a different tone within the preset which needs to be dry so the delay and reverb get bypassed when placed after the loop... I might have to look at simplifying the preset to be able to free up some resources to be able to...

    Looper FX Decay

    I've just started using the Looper integrated in to a mid set solo. My only issue is that i'd like to be able to stop the loop, but have the delay and reverb from the loop decay naturally without being cut off abruptly. I've tried lots of thing and I'm pretty sure it's not possible but I'd just...

    How do you increase your guitars volume when playing a solo?

    I change scene which adds extra preamp gain, amp level, a slight mid boost, as well as delay and/or reverb, depending on the tone.

    For those of you that go direct to the PA.. do you also have your own FRFR solution on stage?

    My main gig is Top 40 covers so i have 4 core tones - Acoustic/Piezo, Clean, Overdriven and Dirty. Each one of those core tones has variations using scenes in the way of effects etc... I own a lot of 3rd party cabs (Redwirez and Ownhammer) and my main 'go to' has always been a Marshall 1960A...

    For those of you that go direct to the PA.. do you also have your own FRFR solution on stage?

    Yep, I bought an ASM12 in December.

I loved what I was hearing sooo much...

    Have you played AX8 live with no issues on the lag; without compensating in anyway?

    I've used it live on about 40 shows since I've had it... I've never had any issues with switching or limitations.. My main gig is a Corporate Cover Band, playing Top40 and Party Classics. I use 4 main presets that all have variations through the use of I/A switches and there's 2 or 3 song...

    Pitch Modifier Video Tutorial

    So you should be reversing your min and max rather than the Start/Mid/End. The Mid is the key for setting the fretted position, whereas the Min/Max settings change the 'polarity' of the effect... The principle of what you're trying to achieve is do-able but the reality is that it won't sound...

    So it looks like your settings are very different to mine... check out the video again, you'll see that my start is 0 and end is 100 and i'm adjusting the mid for the fret position. You'll probably need to wind down the offset a bit too.
