So there's a weird behavior that I noticed when I'm working with a snapshot that's aimed at creating a lush, ambient, swell-type of sound. When I switch to or from that particular snapshot it works perfectly, UNLESS, I've changed the MIX settings on the effect. So if Snapshot A is my ambient swells snapshot and I have the mix cranked up on the Glitz reverb, if I switch between that and another snapshot (or if I switch back to Snapshot A) I get this weird "surge" in sound that has a very abrupt beginning and then the natural decay. Example: (silence) --> step on Snapshot A (ambient swells) --> expected behavior --> step on another snapshot --> expected behavior --> step on Snapshot A --> (don't touch my guitar) weird audio surge The way around this has been to have to use a dedicated block to a swell reverb and leave the mix static between all snapshots, which is frustrating b/c I tend to fill up my blocks with effects and need all the space I can get. Why can't I simply use a single reverb effect and have the mix change per snapshot without causing this unusable situation. Why "unusable" you ask? Because typically when I'm doing these types of ambient swells it's during a very quiet portion of the music and this surge/spillover sticks out like a sore thumb and sounds terrible. Imagine it's nearly silent on stage and the effect you're hoping for is a subtle volume swell...nope, you get this brash, full volume dump of the effect. Anyone got a good idea of how to avoid this?

hello my first post here .. Hello to everyone... I am on the verge of pulling the trigger on a HD500X I prefer to use the footswitch with set to different pre programmed patches (not the individual turning on/off of individual effects) Okay here is the important question for me...--> "Lets say I have a patch that features a solo tone with a panning stereo ping pong delay.. I play the last high note of the solo and then press the foot pedal controller button for the next patch which is a clean sound going back to the songs verses etc... DOES THAT LAST PING PONG DELAY HIGH NOTE CUT OFF WHEN I PRESS A NEW PATCH??? or does it decay naturally over the new patch played? Please let me know ... this is important for me.. we are a trio of guitar bass and drums and do a lot of hotel gigs and use no keyboards... so the spillover ability of a multi effects processor is important for our sound... Whats the scoop please share your experience with me.. thank you in advance for your assistance..
