oddbeck Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Things I've found out with my firehawk, latest firmware (1.20) Strum the guitar and let the guitar ring when you try out this one: 1) When you have a delay active (i.e digital delay), if you press the TAP TEMPO button a couple of times with varying time between the taps, from miliseconds to seconds, you'll hear a strange sound every time you press the TEMPO button. This is also audible when the guitar rings: 2) If I enable an effect, say delay/stomp/whatever, and then press the current active patch button, it seems to reload the patch - with the same irritating latency I've complained about, even after the 1.20 update which makes things better but still not a live-ready box. Anyone else experience this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbeddall Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 1) yeah that's the sound of the delay "time" parameter changing, if you rang out a chord using a normal physical delay pedal and then adjusted the "time" knob you would get a similar warping sound, it's a characteristic of the way delay works and not just the firehawk 2) I haven't noticed this but it makes sense for it to work that way, could be very handy if you were adding effects for a chorus and then quickly wanted to remove them for a verse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they're fixing it soon, or at least fixing it alltogether. Otherwise this will stay a recording device for me and not a part of live equipment.

mcbeddall Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Oh I see, sorry I misread your post, I thought you said it loads the patch without latency, my bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
