    Noise caused by rear inputs/outputs

    Any response at all as to what might be going on?? Went away for a weekend where gear was unplugged, moved around, set up differently etc. Return to use it now and after setting it up, I'm back to getting the noise issues

    Noise caused by rear inputs/outputs

    Update: Sat down to type this after fiddling for ages and ending up with the noise issue finished typing and it works fine - I did NOTHING in between except type this up, leading me to believe that my rear jack ins/outs are indeed a bit dicky

    Noise caused by rear inputs/outputs

    Hi, I ran a search and couldn't find any results Recently i picked up a Horizon Devices Precision drive (if you like modern heavy tones, get one, well worth the money) and have since settled on putting it into the effects loop via the rear ins/outs - reason being, I want to be able to bypass...

    Automating Control types via Tempo

    I'm new to using the control feature as I've not used an expression pedal in the 5 years I've had the axe fx and it's pricey/difficult to get a hold of one at the moment. Wondering if theres a way to link the control of a block (in my case a wah) to the tap tempo like how you can set your...

    Ultimate Ernie Ball Expression Pedal Mod

    Danza/Glass Cloud anyone?

    I've managed to work out individual riffs here and there using a double dropped A (E,A,E,A,d,g,b,e), but most of his stuff is just far too crazy to work out by ear and I'm sure that even if I had lessons with him, I'd still struggle to get the hang of it

    input signal lights/sustain issue

    I was referring to the global gate offset - thats what was set at -40db - I've changed that to 0, switched off the block input gate and placed one after the drive pedal and before the amp (found a thread with some good settings advice and made up my own version of what worked for him), seems to...

    Save tempo in scenes

    + all the interwebz for now I do as someone suggested and have the patch copied exactly for each song/tempo set and just switch patches where there's a tempo change, but the idea of having it doable within scenes as well, this could be pretty cool

    input signal lights/sustain issue

    I'll see how I go for a recording - but yes, it is set sum L+R (is this wrong??), so that clears that up then.

    Advice on setting up a new patch
