ah crap, i use that jack for an expression pedal. oh well, thanks

I was under the impression that the LT could be used to switch channels in one’s amp, but I see in a pic that there is no specific jack for this like there is on the flagship floor model. Is another jack utilized for this purpose on the LT?

Thanks, that’s what I figured, but I was more curious about language that suggested that I could possibly add an effect block in addition to the blocks already assigned their own footswitches. I didn’t think so, but figured I’d ask. To your point, do you know if I could use a Digitech FS-3 to toggle parameters? It’s a 3 button affair that has two switches for up/down, and the third acts as a “hot” button. Obviously the foot switch functions would depend on what you’ve it hooked up to. It connects via TSR

Below is a statement from the Pod Go manual: “EXP 2, FOOTSWITCH 7/8 Connect an expression pedal here to adjust a wide variety of parameters. Alternatively, one (or with a Y-cable, two) external footswitches can be added to access additional stomps. (FS7=tip, FS8=ring). For external footswitches, the momentary (unlatched) type should be used.” I’m having trouble wrapping my head around what they’re saying (that I’ve highlighted in bold). This doesn’t make sense to me given that there are already foot switches available for every effects block that is available. How can using the EXP2 jack allow for “additional stomps” when the number of blocks is already at capacity on a given preset?

I’m considering using my LT w/my amp via 4CM just for the effects as I’m happy w/my amp’s sounds for the specific project I’m currently involved in. There are a couple songs however where I would like to use a modeled amp in this setup, and that’s for an edge of breakup Vox sound that my amp doesn’t quite have. At first I thought I’d simply put the modeled amp block right after the LT’s Effects Send block. But then I got to thinking- while this would give me the Vox sound, correct me if I’m wrong, I’d simultaneously be getting the signal from my physical amp’s preamp section as well. Is there some way, maybe via snapshots, that I could have my physical amp’s preamp section muted/cut off when I engage the snapshot that has the amp block active? That way I’m only hearing the LT’s amp block going into my physical amp’s FX loop return. I'm writing this on my break at work, so i haven't had a chance to try it yet. Figured i'd put this up now in hopes of having some solid ideas/suggestions for when i get home late tonight.

I have? Explain.

Yes, because you responded.

Lose the ‘tude. Thanks

Surprisingly I couldn’t find an effects list anywhere so I downloaded the manual which made no mention of it…unless I missed it.

Yes. He offered a fix for me to try, but i won't be able to until tomorrow. This was his response: After testing around this it seems to be some sort of issue with the FX Loop block you have on path 1. It appears to have corrupted the preset in some manner. Please try the following and see if it resolves the issue for you: Remove/clear FX Loop 1/2 block on path 1 Save the preset Add a new FX Loop 1/2 in the same location it was originally on path 1. Save the preset again. Turn the unit off and back on. After doing these steps the preset is now loading from the footswitch, HX Edit or the preset knob with no issues for me.

Steve Urkle voice- "Did i do thaaaat???" Point worth mentioning that i just thought of- this all started shortly after i made an edit to this preset, which was this- i moved the poly capo after the Shuffle Looper and Tesselator and assigned the onboard expression pedal (merge mix) to allow bypassing of my "live" signal so that it wouldn't get pitch shifted w/the loop playback when i engaged the poly capo...if that makes sense.

All good ideas. i'd already considered the possibility of one of your suggestions regarding which preset i was coming from, as the problem originally presented when i was going from a preset in Bank 1, to the preset in question in Bank 12. It was occurring while going from both 1B & 1C > 12C, so it seems to be bank specific if that can be such a thing. I fired it up last night and couldn't get the problem to present, but that doesn't mean it won't happen tonight. Will keep poking the hive while i await tech support's take on the ticket that i created for this.

Twin STRAT Tess.hlx attached here. thanks

Will try to do that tonight when i get home from work. Anything specific that i need to know as to how to pull the file from Edit to send to you? never done it before. Is it as simple as dragging it to my desk top? i never use Edit because it won't run on my mac's older OS which i don't want to update for a bunch of reasons. As such, when i DO run Edit, it is solely for updates which i do on my son's windows PC. FWIW i did submit a support ticket a couple hours ago. thanks

See if it will let you get to the given preset via the Preset scroll wheel without crashing. Worked on my LT. I'd be interested to see if that's a shared detail of this problem. With mine, so far, it's always been the same preset that causes the crash but that's not to say others won't if i play around with it long enough.

I've posted this in the Bugs section too, but figured i'd put it here as well in case any one already knows of a fix: My LT has locked up/froze several times now while trying to get to a certain preset. The only fix is to reboot and try again, but subsequent attempts yield the same result until I found a workaround. Here are some details: So far, it only seems to happen when I try accessing a certain preset. If it matters, the preset I’m going to has a new 3.15 addition, the Tesselator. In addition, this preset contains Shuffle Looper and some CPU-intensive effects like the Poly Capo. Safe to say that this preset is on the brink of being “maxed out” in terms of CPU availability…if that could be part of the reason. That said we ALL have some presets that are maxed, or near-maxed. Here’s how it all goes down- I’ll be on a given preset and then I’ll use the bank footswitches to get to the back that holds the preset in question. When I tap the preset’s corresponding foot switch, nothing happens, and then it freezes up. Doesn’t matter what footswitch or button I press, the screen is locked showing all of my presets in that particular bank. Through trial and error, I’ve found that I can access the preset via the Preset wheel/knob, but there’s just something about using the foot switches that it’s not liking. Sometimes it lets me, but most of the time it doesn’t. I know it isn’t the footswitch (that corresponds to the preset) itself, because the switch gives me no issues within other banks. FWIW, this isn’t a case where I had just updated to 3.15, created the new preset, and then all of this started happening. I updated weeks ago, and created the preset within a few days later, so there’s that.

Using the expression pedal to switch the path between A/B was the fix. Confusing until I had laid out on my screen. Many thanks

Thanks I’ll check that out. DSP usage is of little concern as I have two H9’s in my effects loop which more than make up any effects I would lose due to a CPU hog like poly pitch or capo, so no worries there

Here’s what I want to do and it’s actually quite simple- I want to have pitch shifting after a loop. Why? So I can take out some of the monotony of looping by shifting the loop up or down to add some variation. The problem is, when the loop is playing back through the pitch shifter, in this case the Capo effect, my live playing is getting pitch shifted through it too along with the loop playback. Not horrible in and of itself because I wouldn’t have to change keys as I’m soloing (when I pitch shift the loop playback) but the problem is that my improvised solo notes sound artifact-y due to the pitch shifting.

All good info, thanks…but the more I think about it, what I want to do can’t be done, and here’s why- the looper is in front of the poly pitch. Obviously the looper has to feed into poly pitch in order to pitch shift the loop playback. Problem is, my “live” signal will still have to pass through the poly pitch while it is pitch shifting the loop. I don’t see any way around that because it’s processing the quasi-live signal of my loop in real time, and I still need to solo, which means both the loop and my live signal are getting processed. Again thanks for your time

I set up the routing as outlined but I can’t make sense of how the mixer should be set. I can’t get rid of the pitch shifted live guitar without losing the volume of the loop.

I would like to be able to have the Poly Pitch effect set up after an effect like Shuffle Looper or Tesselator, that way I can do quasi-chord changes by changing the pitch of the loop while improvising over the patterns. Problem is, when I do that now, the pitch of my live guitar signal gets pitch shifted too. Is there some way that I could just change the pitch of the loop being played back, while leaving my live guitar signal unaffected by the Poly Pitch?

Probably Sweetwater trying to drum up headphone amp sales then, as they particularly state that "generally" open-back cans run at impedances that may require a headphone amp more so than their close-backed counterparts.
