Just picked up both the Amplifi 150 and FX100 pedal. at first reading i thought I purchased the wrong items but then found this posting and worked all my settings out nicely.
1. I took the advice below but tweaked a few things that I hope will help others. I used the Amplifi 150 as a speaker but do so with additional settings, i own and use an MXR EQ and love the setting to bring out the bottom end so I simply set the EQ to the same settings in all four channels and it provided me a very good foundation to lay the FX100 patches on. this one change provides a fat bottom end to the small Amplifi 150. i set the amp volume at 75% and don't touch a thing.
2. i than disconnected my bluetooth connection from the Amplifi 150 so i could manage the FX100.
3. I went through my song set and programmed each patch as I would play at a gig. I then made an excel sheet to list each song next to the patch bank and number on the FX100.
4. After i placed all the patches in, I then took the advice below by editing each patch volume. Open up the patch then go to the volume icon above the slide rules. When you open it set the volume for 100%. The bar above set to 0% or more if you like ( this is the volume pedal control)
5. Now try all your settings on bank one and tweak till they are the same volume. I even used a cheap DB meter that is better than the human ear. Hit the chord and see where it lands making sure all patch's are level.
6. On each bank i used the first three as rhythm and the last as boost. To do this you need to do two things. First, find a tone that complements all three of the other setting in the bank. Second, bring the volume on the "D" button setting to 20-25% higher Db levels ( higher volume). This will be your boost channel and recommend using this with your WAH peddle as well to cut through the mix.
I use the both the amp and the pedals at gigs with my band. When I do solo unplugged acoustic sets I use a Bose L1 connected to the FX100 whereby the first bank is set to acoustic tones such as " brain damage, breathe, wanted dead or alive and other tones.
When the Bose L1 is not in my car ready to go, I plug the FX100 right into the house and it works great. i am leaving the gig with cash being asked to return so my sound must be good to the listens ear. I hope this helps other musicians. its a great amp and pedal if given the time to work things out.. thanks sg
