  1. I did a search and could only find one thread from 2016 that wasn't resolved. I have been using the Firehawk FX since 2017 and have been very pleased with its performance and capability. I've used it primarily as a practice modeler, utilizing the amp models along with the pedal effect models. I recently decided to try it connected to a Princeton amp that I have. This amp runs very quiet, both with and without a guitar connected. I setup a basic signal path of no amp, the Screamer HD, and Spring Reverb. I'm connected to the amp through the Line Out Left/Mono jack with the button on Amp. Turning on the Princeton, I'm immediately getting a whispering hiss that is noticeable and prominent. If I add another Stomp -- say a fuzz effect -- the hiss increases substantially. I've tried different model effects, compression, and noise gate settings, but nothing gets rid of the hiss. If I press the button in for the FX jacks to Line (nothing connected to the jacks), the hiss drops a little, but not much. The ground lift button does nothing. The hiss will increase and decrease also with the volume knob. This is very disconcerting, as I had been hoping to use the unit as a versatile pedal board when performing with an external amp. Has anyone experienced this, and if so, what did you do to fix it (if you could)? Any suggestions on how to deal with this?
  2. I recently purchased the Firehawk and like it so far. I’m having trouble understanding the volume effect in the signal chain, and how it relates to the volume pedal and/or the main volume knob. It seems when I turn the unit on, the default volume setting is zero. I guess that makes sense. The pedal is defaulted to volume on boot up. The pedal seems to have no control over the volume effect in the signal chain. The bars don’t move when the pedal is moved. The main volume knob doesn’t seem to have any correlation at all to either the pedal or the volume effect. Can someone help me understand the function of these and how they relate? Also, what is the proper use of these options? Thanks ahead!
