Hi, I built a preset during a few days for gigging at weddings. During the show we do not stop between songs as set list has been arranged to keep the audience dancing on the floor with no lull.
So, I built a preset with a few scenes. The grid had a compressor, drive, amp, pitch, cab, delay and reverb blocks.
The drive, amp, cab and delay blocks featured X/Y switching between scenes but I never change scenes during a song, I programmed the preset so that the scenes are more genre orientated by using scene controllers on the amp block input gain, so kinda clean, crunch and heavy sounds.
The X state of the amp block featured a Vox AC30 TB and in Y a USA Clean Pre. The CAB X a modified AC30 2x12 and Y a 4x12 USA type.
While setting up the preset I did extensive testing and the DSP meter was at 80%. Over a few days both setting up the preset and actually using it to practice for a gig everything was fine.
But get this:
I go to the wedding and during the second song on the set I see the reverb block flashing on/off in the AX8 screen indicating lack of resources and I saw a message stating that.
Needless to say I was bloody pisD OFF and had to make a preset very quickly in order to finish the gig.
Now, I don't get this but what is the point of going to the trouble of tweaking presets and keeping an eye on DSP usage only to go out gigging and all of a sudden running out of DSP on a preset I tested for 4 days during which time no sign of lack of DSP.
Anyone have any idea what could have caused this?
