mark51969 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Hey all, I've got an HD500x and am thinking about getting the 89F. My question is can you switch from a clean acoustic to electric with a high gain amp within the same patch or do you have to create 2 different patches, and if so, how bad is the lag when switching patches? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CipherHost Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Yes, you can switch from an acoustic tone to a high gain tone within the same patch. Most will agree that the acoustics sound much better through FRFR speakers. You can push the high gain into FRFR as well, but you may prefer a guitar amp. You can send the acoustic to FRFR and the high gain into an amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinon2 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 +1...FRFR is pretty much a necessity if you want acoustic tones that are anything close to convincing. Trying to pump them through a traditional guitar amp is a dead end. The necessary frequency response just isn't there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rewolf48 Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Demo of the concept in action - just feed an acoustic model down one path and magnetics down the other path and keep the paths totally separate; this demo has both active at the same time and allows cross fading between them: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
