Hi all,
I've just bought Firehawk FX. I'm using it with Peavey Classic 30 in the 4CM setup. I've read all about the dreaded patch change latency problem but decided to give it a try instead. The latency of changing patches is ok for my purpose. It could be better but all in all my Peavey Classic 30 has a similar latency while switching between channels.
BUT
Everything is nice and ok unless I don't use the preamp of my Peavey in the effect loop. If that is the case the latency of patch switching reaches 1 second or more. The sound cuts and then slowly arises from zero.
To give it simple:
Guitar -> FX -> Send RCV in Peavey ----------- Patch Switching OK
Guitar -> FX -> 4CM -------------------------------- Patch Switching with 1 second latency (sound arrising)
Can it be a matter of the preamp of my Peavey that needs to somehow re-init if getting signal from INPUT or is it a problem of the Firehawk ?
Please help, I don't know whether to return the unit because using it like this is impossible ... :/
