jc_anderton Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Hard to reproduce but sometimes when I engage the Red Comp I hear a pop, sometimes I don't. Also I have a few presets with just Red Comp-Amp-Cab and with the same settings on the Red Comp it sounds very different on different presets. Sure this is user error, but can't figure it out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunedinDragon Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 The compressor isn't so much about changing the tone as it is about smoothing things out. The amp and cab are determining the sound by and large. Things such as your guitar's volume knobs and such also have some impact on the compressor. The pop itself could be coming from the guitar and is just accentuated by the compressor. Try using the default noise gate on your input block and see if that takes the pop out.

gunpointmetal Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 the Simple Delay occasionally makes an audible, though not overly loud, pop when engaged. Thought maybe it was the switch, but it does it on other presets where the same effect is mapped to different switches. It's nearly impossible to predictably reproduce, so I've just kinda accepted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zooey Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Pre-Helix, I was a big Amplitube fan. AT's Duncan Power Grid makes this huge pop every time you turn it on. Can't imagine who thought that was OK, even if the real one does that too (no idea). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc_anderton Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 Tried it with the guitar volume off and it pops 'sometimes'. When playing and activating it sounds as though it's loading with the sensitivity right up and then adjusting itself to the programmed settings I really not use a compressor to squish country or funk type sounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
