rwinking

Thanks so much rd2rk. This really helped me with my rig. As I never use the PC with the USB for recording, I have never heard the clipping. It is so weird that if I am using a very clean model like a Twin or Deluxe it goes in the red but still sounds really clean. I have never had an issue using acoustic instruments for obvious reasons. I really love the PC for an acoustic monitor. THe sound I get on stage is prefect for me using acoustic IRs and then it is up to the sound god to make that happen out front. My trouble was more in using it for my electric stuff. YOu have helped me conceptualize it so I now know how to get the biggest sound free of worrying about where it might be oeverdriving.

Good catch rd2rk!

I have a question regarding either the 112+ or the 212. I notice that when I am playing on my QC (most often with a clean amp model) the PC is in the red zone meaning it is clipping. However I do not hear the clipping on the PC. I assume that the clipping must be going to the FOH even though I am not hearing it on the PC. If I pull it back on the QC and get it in the green or yellow zone on the PC oft times it is not loud enough for my stage volume. I know that I could ask the FOH engineer for more in my monitor but that kind of defeats me using the PC for the amp in the room sound. I looked in the global settings but not sure if I saw anything relevant in there except maybe the input volume in which case I then need to add something extra to my stage volume. Also, should the direct out level be line or mic in going to FOH? Any easy fixes?

I have both a 112+ AND A 212. I would buy either one again in a heartbeat. I still use my tube amps but I find myself using the PCs more and more. My acoustic rig is the 112+ and my electric rig is either one of them most often with a QC.

Does the Black have nice FX like Delay/Verb?It never even occurre to me to try a bass rig even though back in the day I used a bass head for years and loved it.

I am using my 112+ for an acoustic rig. I have the Dimarzio Black Angel pick system in my acoustic and run it into a Grace Felix so that I can EQ each pickup independently. I then run that into the PC 112+ and add a Martin IR. It sounds wonderful. THe problem is after that I take the XLR out to a QSC TOuchmix 16 and then to an EV Evolve 30 PA. Here is the issue. When I listen to everything going to the PC 112+ it sounds great....like a mic'd acoustic. If I turn the PC completely down and go through the PA, it sounds pretty much the same. When I turn the PC back up it sounds really tinny and perhaps phasey. Is there a phase switch on the PC? Or is something else going on? It would seem that what I hear in the PC should be what is sent to the PA. That is true as long as I turn the PC down to zero. I am kind of baffled.

Each guitar is assigned to a separate preamp/EQ. This way, I have a separate EQ for the baritone and the regular guitar.I will use the same TRS cable for both guitrs and then the switch will change which preamp it goes to. The EQ for the Baritone is so different from the D-18 for sure.

Thanks so much for all of your help. I do realize that I could use the Stomp XL (or maybe even my HX FX?) for all three instruments. However, the Grace Felix is the ultimate in an instrument preamps for me. So with the Dimarzio split signal from the piezo and magnetic and then separate channels of massive EQ on the Grace for each, I think I would rather use the Stomp more for FX. Besides, I have never liked the Line 6 EQs that much. Maybe operator error, but they seem a little too subtle for me. Maybe the Line 6 Stadium will someday be able to capture the Grace stuff?

I am still experimenting with using acoustic guitars with my Stomp XL, Here is my current issue: I have an acoustic and a baritone acoustic, both set up with the Dimarzio Black Angel system. Piezo and Magnetic TRS out and then each into it's own stereo preamp (which blends the signals as I like them....) and then out mono, one to my Powercab and the other to my Stomp XL. Right now I am using two separate TRS cables. It would be great to have a TRS to two TRS switching box. I can find a few that can do the TRS in to two TRS outs but they don't seem to have a footswitch. It seems like it would be a pain to mute one preamp, unmute the other when I could have footswitch that directs the signal to one or the other. Any ideas? I found a company in Canada called wounded paw audio that someone said could build me one but I haven't heard back yet. thanks in advance rick

This one might be for you amsdenj or anyone knowledgeable about IRS...... So correct me if I am wrong, but 1) Does using an IR on the PC send the IR sound to FOH? 2) What does the PC speaker default to when using an IR? FRFR? 3) In using an acoustic guitar IR, I assume that the IR (Say, a Martin acoustic) sound would also go to FOH and then the PC would be FRFR?

The problem was thatAll of a sudden my Right input didn't work. So I rebooted and that helped get the inputs both working. The biggest issue is I can't seem to get one of the instruments to mute when I switch from one to the other. Like I said, earlier today it was working. I am trying to figure out how to mute the patch that I am not using. The mandolin is muted when I switch to the baritone, but the baritone is on both the baritone patch and the mandolin patch.

So something happened. I had it all set up with Patch 1A being the Baritone and 1B for mando. Each had a pan blockwith one panned to the left and one to the right. I plugged the baritone into Left in and the mando into right in. I then went out the left mono out to my PC+. It worked and then later I went back to it and it didn't work. I could switch patches and the baritone came out on both patches with the mando not coming out on wither. I checked the cable of course. Not sure where to go.....

Since I am only using minimal blocks anyway, I went ahead with the Pan block method and it worked like a charm. Thanks you guys! rick

So on the mando patch I could set that to left and the baritone patchcould be right? And this would work even though I am using the left mono out?

I am pretty sure this is a pretty simple fix but for the life of me I can't figure it out. I want to run two separate patches on my Stomp....One for mandolin and the other for an acoustic Baritone. All this is running into a Powercab+. So the Mando is patch 4D and the Bari is patch 4C. I would like to plug the bari into left input and the mando into the right input and then send both out to the powercab from the output. When I do this I am stuck with both of them coming out of the output so if I am playing mando, the bari is on and vice versa. Any idea on how to be able to switch patches so that one or the other is switched off when the other is switched on? I can't use both inputs on the PC+ as I am already using one for something else. I can almost see what I need to do with the key word being almost. thanks for being here..... rick
