Re: Can't get rid of short slap ???

Update on the situation for those interested.

In my case, I have this amp going into a mixer (along with my computer and some other audio devices) so I can monitor everything though my FRFR desktop mixing speakers (Mackie 824 MKII). Turns out the cable from amp to mixer had a short at the cable adaptor into the mixer and it was causing any "stereo" efx to distort (the Sine Chorus is stereo if positioned Post). Once I discovered and fixed that issue the distortion problem disappeared.

After a few repeated flash updates the amp appears to be back to normal without the short slap delay that was appearing on all the presets. Not sure why that specific issue happened in the first place but it was probably just a DSP "glitch" (technical term).

I did open a support ticket and was told to try re-flashing to see if the problems stopped, and if not, "send it in for service". When I started to think about the cost of doing that, RT amp shipping costs, labor to diagnose, labor to fix, parts to fix, etc., I probably wouldn't have done it since I have other amp options this little guy would have turned into a 2 x 10 cab.

So as they say .... I am back in business.

I did a few times and I "think" it might be fixed now? I even went back to V1.5 the back to V2.0. Have to check it later today when I have a bit more time. Will report findings back.

Can't get rid of short slap ???

Before I open a support ticket I thought I would ask the forum about this issue.

Spider IV120 about 2 years or so old. Working fine up until a day or so ago.

I noticed some unwanted distortion coming from clean tones. I noticed specifically that Sine Chorus was distorting in the post position .... never did that before.

So ....

I re-Initialized the amp ..... no difference.

I re-flashed the amp with 2.0 firmware .... this seemed to fix the distortion problem however I now have a very short slap on everything. Turning up and off all the fx knobs does not get rid of it. Using Line 6 Edit to make sure there are no efx active still doesn't get rid of it. Nothing gets rid of it. It is on ALL amp models exactly the same. One would call it "non removable global slap".

I am thinking it is a DSP chip issue? Has anyone experienced this problem and has a solution ???

I am thinking of maybe going back to an earlier firmware to see if it is still there then coming back to V2.0.

Thnaks in advance for any advice .....

Yup, everybody works differently. Good luck with your search for a comfortable setup that works for you.

I have been having success with my DT25 by diming out the Master Volume (up full), using the Gain to get the amount of grunge I need, then using the Channel Volume for my over all level. I have lately been using the VOX AC30 preamp (acutally, I prefer the DT internal preamps over the HD500's), dimed on on Drive and anywhere from 10 to 2 o'clock on the Channel Volume depending on venue. This has been working nicely for my needs so far. On the Clean channel (A) I use the Fender Twin NOR, Dimed Master Volume and Channel Volume, then use the Drive for my needed overall volume. This of course keeps the Drive level as low as possible which translates into clean as possible. So to summarize, the Clean Channel (A) Fender Twin, overall volume is done with the Drive Level, the Crunge Channel (B) Vox AC30 overall volume is done with the Channel Volume. In both cases the Master Volume is Maxed. Clean and Grunge Channel's overall relative volumes can be matched to taste. Just my .02 for another gain staging perspective.

Re: Another 1x12 cab?

support@line6.com — Mon, 18 Mar 2013 16:14:19 GMT

I have a SV212 MKII so I have used it as an open back 2 x 12 extension cab before, (I still really like that amp). Works ok but I definitely prefer the 1 x 12 closed back cab plus it is so much LIGHTER by far than lugging that SV around. So I am thinking of a second DT25-112 cab possibly? ..... after which of course, I am only $900 away from a second DT25 head for stereo ....... lol !~! (like how much gear am I really willing to lug around ??). I played a bit with a pair of DT25's in stereo and it was very interesting for sure. First the ext cab then we'll see ....

Tormod1 ........ let us know if you get yourself another 1 x 12 cab and how you like it? I am thinking along those lines myself. I have the DT25 head / DT25-112 Cab. I am thinking about another cab.
