Hi , really appreciate your thoughts on this topic.
Yes - the cable bridging is exactly the workaround I am using today.
Hence, the disadvantage is the 'abuse' of the FX loop for just the boost. OR - in case you reallywant to have some effects in the loop, you will need to switch them off one-by-one just in case you ONLY want the solo boost. Not very practical in my opinion. Stepdance...
Furthermore, the difference b/w bright and dimmed LED you have in the FX section as well, indicating whether a dedicated effect is on or off. Therefore, my suggestion would be at least somehow consistent with the current setup of the Firehawk.
Lastly, it would enhance just flexibility. If you don't want the solo boost, just don't define it in the App, and nothing will happen.
In regards of the smart change-over: I own a Boss ME-80, which has this function already included. Works great.. unfortunatly it has some other disadvantages vs the Firehawk FX.. :-(
Cheers!
