Say I have a preset like this:
Row1: In1 -> Amp1 -> Cab1 -> Out1
Row2: Cab1 -> FX1 -> FX2 -> Mixer1 ->Out1
Row3: Cab1 -> FX3 -> FX4 -> Mixer1 -> Out1
Essentially I have a dry signal, one parallel loop with two FX in series, and a second parallel loop with 2 other FX in series.
I have a number of scenes that set the Bypass for each FX depending on desired overall FX.
Now my question has to do with Wet-Dry Mix. I have setup Mixer1 to be controlled by an expression pedal.
When the pedal is in full heel position, Mixer1 is set to Row1 Gain to be 100% and all others to 0%, and via a cross fade, when the expression is fully in toe mode, the Mixer1 Row1 is at 0% gain, and Row2 and Row 3 are at 100%.
This way, I can control the wet-dry mix of this FX preset easily.
However there is a problem... If I am only using one FX row (2 or 3, say row 2), I would disable Row 3 by setting both FX3 and FX4 to be in Bypass mode via scene control. But what that does is to let the dry signal go through. I realize there is a concept of Mute FX and Mute, but it seems like neither is a good option. If I do Mute FX3 and Mute FX 4, the dry signal goes through Row3 when I only want it dry to go through Row1. In turn, if I use Mute and not Mute FX, then I lose the ability to disable FX4 but keep FX 3 working. So I am unsure how to handle this.
So trying to find a way to solve this if anyone has any ideas. A Multiplexer is not the answer because it would not allow the combination of parallel FX loops. I also have ran out of Volume blocks so cannot go that route either. Not sure there is an answer, understanding that my actual preset uses all 6 rows available.
