Hello,
found this old post.. https://line6.com/support/topic/5972-4cm-method-improved-less-latency-less-noise/ Didn't want to bump it being that it's several years old now..
Basically, they are suggesting using the 4cm without the fx loop and no fxblock in the chain by using the aux in instead of pod fx loop return...
I am wondering if anyone is doing this and what their thoughts are..
It makes sense to me that bypassing the pod fx loop might be the solution to lower noise/latency/db drops and various problems...
while the post gets confusing with whether path a/b should be pre or post effects, (i dont think that matters, i don't think one is processed first...your routing makes it first or second..) they are suggesting that one path be set to pre effects and goes to the amp preamp, then the other path set to post effects to the amp return...then for modeling, all pre/ pod amp model/post effects go on one path with the other path muted....this way you are not using the pod fx loop and save a block in your chain with no effects loop block...
makes sense to me and im about to try it..just wanted to know if anyone does this and their thoughts....
Thanks
