    FX Loop and feedback issue when Input 2 is not used

    Cool, thank you! Super useful suggestions. At the moment I'm just going with the simplest solution, sticking an adapter into the left input 2, but I'll explore the safeguards you suggested. I have variations of the patch with both clipping because of doubling and clipping because of runaway...

    FX Loop and feedback issue when Input 2 is not used

    Hello! I haven't found a solution for this while searching the manual and wikis and I hope someone here can help me out. I have a patch where I'm using both inputs and outputs. Input 1 - front - guitar Input 2 - synthesizers - stereo Output 1 - wet mix, with synthesizers Output 2 - dry mix...

    CPS SpaceStation v.3 and Laney irt-x

    I use the SpaceStation v3. In my experience it can get plenty loud, I have never had any problems with that aspect, but I use it in a specific context, as a mini-PA for duo work: song, guitar and synthesizers. In this application I like it more than for instance the Bose L-series. It does have...

    Bug? Q7 beta 2 mixer block gets scrambled values when saving preset

    DBA Fuzz War clipping the input of my Axe (updated with new question! 2/11)

    Because you are running a real fuzz, shouldn't the interaction between the guitar pickups and fuzz be fine regardless if there is a buffer after the fuzz? Could it not be that the difference between the real amp and axe fx is caused by how the axe fx instrument input normalizes the input signal...
