    Bug? Firmware 11.0 Dual Delay Advance Param.s: mix-up between Master Time and Time Right

    Just noticed something confusing in the hardware UI: in advanced parameters of the dual delay, rows 2 and 3 read "Time Right" and "Master Time", respectively. But the actual master time is shown in (and controlled by) row 2, and the "Time Right" is shown in (and controlled by) row 3. This is...

    I strongly suggest NOT going down that route: it is not straightforward, with extra installations and/or configuration depending on your distribution (IIRC) additional breakage can (and likely will) occur with some future update of FM3-Edit you will only get MIDI control of the device, which is...

    FX-dependent(!) dry level loss with bypassed mute-fx-in series

    FX-dependent(!) dry level loss with bypassed mute-fx-in series

    Do you have any source for the mix laws being different, and what they are? I was only aware of the DLY block in that respect. Anyway, the PLX seems "correct" at -6dB at 50% mix. I will re-check REV and MTD on the Axe in the coming days.

    1959SLP without power amp modeling ques

    To the best of my knowledge, a good part of the distortion on Plexis does come from the power amp.. so if you turn that off in the AxeFx, you would need to turn your tube amp way up to get the power amp distortion from that. Probably NOT what you want.
