marsaun Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I have a mesa triple rec and I'm having a hard time getting my firehawk to work through the FX Loop on the amp. All I get is feedback and if I do get any sound, it comes through clean, even on my red distorted channel. Not using it for amp modeling, just effect. Tired changing it from amp to line, line to stop and vice versa. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmoncebaiz Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 A few things to start with would be checking connections as well as checking to see if the triple rep's loop is on (not assign to specific channels or bypassed) and that its level its turned to at least the middle value. Then make sure that the amp block on the Firehawk is set to off, or "No Amp" (found in the clean amp category). The Triple Rec has a parallel FX loop (as do most of the rectos I think). Which means that you'll always hear the dry thru sound of the pre-amp, even if the loop level is at 100%. I would start with all of the effects in Firehawk at full mix and then adjust from the amp's loop level or bring down the mix on Firehawk afterwards. It might also be a simple level issue. Make sure you have volume of the Firehawk unit. If you're seeing red volume (overall level), also press the volume knob in and check that there is white volume (guitar only).
