Kristianx510 Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 I'm having trouble understanding how to properly use the mixer in my patches. it seems like every time i set up a stereo signal path my levels get all messed up. either the levels going to my amp will not sound right or my effects in the stereo chain wont sound right.I included a picture of my current issue.I put a pitch wham in path B and it isn't going up the full octave i want it to.secondly, depending on where the path reconnects with path A my effects in path A don't sound right.in the first picture included my whammy on path A isn't going up the full octave, while in the second picture it is.but no matter where I place the merge the whammy on path B doesn't go up the full octave.can anyone enlighten me as to how to use the mixer properly?

Not quite sure what you are trying to achieve in this preset with two pitch whammy blocks set up in different paths. You only need one stereo pitch block for a stereo signal chain. Why do you have two pitch blocks set up? Not saying you don't have a good reason, just curious as to what it is? Regarding the issue of the pitch block not going up a full octave, you may want to double check both pitch blocks and ensure that you have them set to a full octave (+12). Also, remember, unless you set both "Heel Pitch" and "Toe Pitch" to +12 you must have the expression pedal 100% in the toe position to get the full octave. The even split block before the whammy in the second picture would send the already pitch adjusted signal from the Whammy on Path A to the Whammy on Path B, assuming you had both Whammy blocks on. This would definitely not give you the expected results as you are essentially putting the signal through two Whammy blocks in serial causing the second Whammy to process an already "Whammied" signal. Also, keep in mind if you want to keep a true stereo signal all the way down the chain all of your effects have to be stereo. You may want to check your other effects. I also notice you have a mod effect on down your signal chain after the pitch block, depending on the mod settings this could also cause some unpredictable results. You may want to test your pitch block with the mod block off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
