Hi all!
First of all, I’m brand new here. I’ve been a traditional amp and cab guy my entire life but got too curious about modeling in the last few years and I now own an FM9 as my first modeler. Perfect timing as my band will be headed to Europe next year for our biggest tour ever and I’m psyched to have all of my sounds in a carry on case.
I absolutely love my FM9 but I’ve had one small issue, and sorry if this has been addressed/solved elsewhere already!
In my preset I am running 2 amp blocks to achieve seamless switching between a high gain amp (Archean Bright) and a clean amp (Archean Clean). I’ve got the bypass modes for each block set to Mute, but when I switch from the high gain amp scene to the clean amp scene, there is an audible decibel level spike for just a millisecond or two when the switch is made. It is visible on the output block’s db meters. I can send a screen video later as I’m sure that would help. It does not occur when I do the other way around- switching from the clean scene to the high gain scene is perfectly smooth. I only get the spike when switching to clean, and it is pretty quick but very noticeable.
Is there another method I should be using to switch between these blocks besides toggling them on or off in certain scenes with the bypass modes on mute to get rid of this pop? Perhaps the multiplexer or something else would eliminate it?
Thanks everybody!
