Yeah, it's supposed to bring out more of the fundamental. This is what I do.
True.. yes, I’ve done that even though I’ve always used the bridge pickup... it’s definitely better.
FWIW: I figured it out. My tuner source was set to ALL. I don't remember changing it, never had a reason to.That’s what I figured. I will continue to troubleshoot
Oh that reminds me when I had a loose patch cable going to Input 2 and didn’t realize it. I was going nuts
My experience, exactly.
I noticed something today. Does it seem that it tracks better at a whole step down than 1/2 step? I have a preset at a whole step and also a baritone preset, neither of which seem to lag like the 1/2 step down one does.
i'm getting the same lag at -2 as -1. Noticeable loss of tone quality, too.
I’m not getting a huge tone drop, but it is slight. Barely noticeable with a band going. I have had some good luck opening up the high and low cuts on the pitch block, setting the detector to input 1, using smooth tracking, and setting the tracking to around 7. Wide open causes too much lag, and lower settings are less accurate.
Yes. Rolled back to 20.02 and they're still wiping upon every reboot and it still opens on preset 000. Before updating last night it worked perfectly. Not sure what happened there.
Captain User Error here. Your post prompted me to check settings. I didn't remember changing my -1 preset (1/2 step down). D'oh! Tracking was on 10 which explains the difference in lag compared to the other two which are at defaults (Block in, Fast, 5). When I set it I remembered why I changed it...it was warbling and setting tracking to 10 solved that. This probably happened at some point in FW 19. I hadn't noticed the warbling before that, and still think it's weird that the -2 doesn't seem to do it.
Understood and agreed. I'm trying to limit how many guitars I'm taking. Pre AF3, I always had two or three...standard, 1/2 down, backup for standard. Got tired of carrying three cases, especially when I never play the third guitar. Now I have one with a b/g bender bridge in dobro tuning for about 4 songs. Since we only have 1-2 songs a night that require 1/2 down, 1 that requires whole step down, and another that requires baritone, I'm LOVING the virtual capo. It has worked great in the past and is still working well enough right now...I think it's just gonna take a minute to dial it back in, and I do think there's been a change in the sweet spot between accuracy and lag, but I'm hoping to find it soon.
Ah good point gigging out is a different story for sure - good luck to you
You may have a failed battery... Try changing a global setting to a non-default setting and then cycle power and see if the setting remains or resets to default.
This happened to me back at the beginning of the AxeIII on one of the first firmware updates. I didn't have a backup of my layouts at the time.
