So to be clear, as I don't own this unit nor the 500X, when I say patch, it is because it was my understanding that multiple effects have to be put in a patch. I don't plan on trying to go from Triple Rectifier distortion to Fender cleans using different amp models in one song. What I want to do is be able to go from using effects without modeling into my amp and be able to have a chorus and reverb on, and when it is time to do a lead, hit a single button to switch the effects to a boost and a delay without lag. This is simple that even my old crappy Digitech unit could do with no problem. It has been my understanding (which is why I came here to ask these specific questions) that in order to activate multiple effects, or deactivate multiple effects at the same time, you have to set them up in a patch. It has also been my understanding that there is significant lag (more than the 500X) in the Firehawk when switching between patches. That is why I'm here. I just want to know if the issue has been fixed. I've seen videos on YouTube of the issue, and it was at an unacceptable level. Now if there is a different way to accomplish this without the lag, that would be good to know. Thank you all for the help.
