Spider Valve mkii HD100 channel switch delay

Hi,

there are a few threads about the delay (gap of silence/call it as you want to) in channel switching on the Spider Valve mkII HD 100 from the past. I just want to know if there ist still no proper solution for the problem?


Everytime when I want to switch between my Channels (A,B,C,D) with the FBV express mkii footswitch there is an interruption like a gap of silence between channel selections. 

So, is there an update or a solution for the Problem to get a "fluent" channel switch? :) 

Thank you for your help!

Since the design centers around presets, the way I've found to minimize switching delay is to choose the same amp models among the A,B,C,D selections. However, that limits the creative sounds you may need. Although it's a compromise, and well known oversight, technological constraints may have been part of the problem for the era it was released.

Ok thank you for the answer! That helps me a lot! 

Would it be possible to combine the Spider Valve with a Pod HD500X to solve the Problem? Just let the AMP run in a clean channel and use the POD for switching between the Channels and for the effects?  

Another Solution for the Problem is to buy a Pod HD 500 Pro. May sounds a bit silly but, is there a huge difference in the Sound of the Spider Valve and the Sound of the POD HD 500 Pro?  :D Unfortunately there is no dealer for these products in my town so I can't figgure it out by my self!

Sure an HD might help, but then you would likely want to turn your SV into a power amp for that....You can do tone morphing within one model or crossfade two models in a patch...But if you changes patches there is a gap...There is always a gap...Amp models and FX models sounds better to me in the HD and they are a bit more flexible...But no one in the audience is going to know the difference other than that dude sitting in the back with his arms crossed... :D
