helix fuzz woes

[shanecgriffo]

the whole fuzz/ impedence thing is not very well implemented i am thinking.. i was playing around with setting the fuzz button to switch between auto/1m when it is switched on/off which gave the desired results but sometimes when changing a few other settings the impedence setting would reverse so that it would be 1m/auto which sounded horrible, i'm not sure what was causing this .. this whole way of working is not very elegant at all - couldn't it just happen that the fuzz's when on (and first in the chain) switches the impedence automatically.. there must be a lot of users out there who hate the fuzzes when using them, and then if you haven't found out about this whole impedence tweaking hoop you have to jump thru the guitar sound is dull and muddy when your fuzz is off!!.. i mean, i dont think it is even stated in the manual how to set this all up for best results? It would would be great to have a sticky post even with the details about using fuzzes succesfully on the forum here, also listing which pedals need this work around ( eg ..is the kwb in this category? )

Using a snapshot would be a great work around: one snap with fuzz on and impedance on auto, another with fuzz off and impedance to taste. Search the posts for a lengthy discussion of this issue.

i prefer to use it as a pedal board when i'm using the kind of presets that contain a fuzz but thanks anyhow for the tip..

There is some weird behaviour when changing settings on other fx blocks when i'm making a preset that makes the input impedence re-set to default settings (in the controller menu) that is really annoying and i cant pin down yet.. has anyone had this happen.. ?
