Axylrock Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 So I've been working on a few patches and presets and for some reason one patch sounds right and the other one does not. The first patch all of the effects "attach" to the signal and for the second patch every effect sounds like its post signal or something. Instead of droning or swelling I hear clear guitar notes and then all of the reverb and delay comes after that. Any answers on what might be causing this?

One thing to keep in mind is that most effects have the max effect setting mixed with the max direct (dry) signal at 50% on the "Mix" parameter. For many (most) effects, at a 100% you are only getting the effected (wet) signal. This means that for instance on "Mod" effects like a chorus or a flanger you will only be getting the slightly detuned/delayed signal without the direct signal. This can sound thin and awful depending on whether you are running a stereo or mono mix and how you set up your routing. Setting the "Mix" parameter properly on effects is very important to the final sound. Setting the predelay setting too high on a reverb, having a really long delay time, or having a gate kick in erratically could also be possible causes of the symptoms you are describing but those are probably not causing your issue.

RRMark Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Unlikely, but possibly something similar to the post I just added http://line6.com/support/topic/19035-cool-mistaketip/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidb7170 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Check to see if the reverb or echo has the word "duck" in the FX name -- if so, the effect doesn't kick in until after you quit playing a note.... It's called "ducking". Just a thought. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
