No, the Sends are used as additional parallel outputs that carry the signal of the normal outs and only add IR. RTM

You could use a parallel path: IR -> Send 1/2. See page 30 in the manual for details.

No. I don't want to promote specific ones since I don't have experience with one. Search for digital RCA cable. Just don't use a standard RCA cable since these usually don't have the right wave impedance to prevent signal reflections.

A coaxial cable with 75 Ohm characteristic impedance minimizes glitches.

Just normalize the IRs at -0.3 dB. R5_412_Greenback_Edgy.wav R5_412_Greenback_Smooth.wav

Is this correct - a power bank with 9V output? Why the step up adapter then?

Check Main L/R block settings. Make sure it's Level parameter is set to 0dB.

You are refering to the tuner bypass, right? That is quieter then the DSP-bypass and you AFAIK there is no option for level trim.

Do whatever you think is correct. As for me, I greatly appreciate your contributions in this forum!

Their conclusion is correct. They strongly and unconditionally advocate for balanced cables. Where do they state that it becomes relevant at 20ft or more?

The advice should be: if possible use balanced connections. Why? It offers the possibility of ground lift. Ground hum is the main cause of noise in audio applications. it greatly reduces susceptibility for noise induced by electromagnetic fields. Cable length isn't important, but proximity to noise source and relative orientation is. That's simply wrong. It's relevant, applies to short distances as well and enables ground lift.

Why are you still promoting that 20ft advice?

LoneStar Manual Read Pages 4 and 6 and replace Drive with Drive 1 and Gain with Drive 2.

The 65 Deluxe model is very accurate. The original has no mid and presence controls - set mid to 6.8 and presence to 0 for accuracy (both channels). Switch Input-Z to 136kOhm to emulate the low input (2) and 1MOhm for high input (1).

Menu -> Contoller Assign: Set Controller of the relevant Parameter to None.

10k pot should work. Global Settings -> Preferences -> EXP/FS Tip / Ring must be set to EXP.

Congrats! I think the main stumbling block for newbies can be the cab block if you're going direct. Some like it - some not so much. I personally think that it offers great results. Just try it out - much to explore. The 2nd way of cab simulation is the IR block - if you're into heavy rock / metal you might consider York Audio's MES 212 V30 limited 1$ offer . I find them a stellar representation of the Mesa Rectifier 2x12 cab which maybe is the best cab for heavy tones out there [does very nice cleans, too - Cali IV Rhythm 1 *hint hint*] . It's a good way of getting a feel of what good IR's can do for you. Other then that - play, explore, enjoy!

Words of wisdom.

...until it becomes reality.

Current is measured in ampere, right. That adapter has a jack. You would need a plug: https://www.logsdonaudio.com/cables/strymon-power-supply-and-line-6-pedal-current-doubler-cable Only use with a 9V power supply!

Put a SimpleDelay on Path B, then navigate to the split block before it, set it to Split Y with BalanceA @L100 and BalanceB @R100.

It's basically a parametric EQ in front of the amp +4dB@720Hz, Q 0.7. It's purpuse is to boost mids in a tube screamer-ish way - more gain without getting muddy.

The adapter you suggested doubles the voltage (by connecting two voltage source in series). Don't use that. You need 9V for the HX Stomp not 18V or 24 V. Some 9V pedal power supplies offer multiple isolated outs with 500mA max each. For those iit is possible to connect them in parallel to sum the available current (i.e. 500mA + 500mA =1000mA = 1A).

Volume/Pan -> Stereo -> Stereo Width with RPolarity set to Invert enhances the stereo width. Adjust with Width. This puts the stereo sides in paraphase. It's a strong effect. Use with caution: when you mix both sides to mono they cancel each other out and the sound disappears. Alternatively try this delay trick.

Why do you connect amp send to HX return L if you don't use the amp's preamp? Why use HX send to amp? You stated it was HX output to amp return.
