DBCrocky Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Does this mean, by losing the bottom row, I can now have seamless changes between presets? If so, this will be a big happy dance for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigGT Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 That's what it says, you have to enable it in globals though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBCrocky Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 Playing with snapshots is interesting and challenging, but I am now excited to try this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 Yes, that’s what it means. You are restricted to using only Path 1 in your presets, though, so you’re sacrificing 50% of available DSP for this capability. Having said that, you can do a lot on Path 1!

DBCrocky Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 Yeah, I use an Amp 4CM and a couple of tube preamps, so I don't need amp and cab sims. I'll have plenty of DSP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codamedia Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I'm all in with snapshots so I doubt I will ever use this feature... but it's a great option for those that are entrenched in, or just really prefer the "preset" method of getting around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DunedinDragon Posted November 22, 2020 Share Posted November 22, 2020 I use a preset per song, but I doubt I'll ever use this as I really don't need a seamless change between presets. But I know it was a highly voted on entry in IdeaScale because some of the other modelers do it, so I think that's what prompted it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently there is a shortcut to enable/disable the spillover as well if you hold action and hit the home button (at least I think that is it). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruisinon2 Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 It's nice that it's available, and if I were brand new to the device I'd probably be all over this, but at this point it would mean completely re-engineering everything. Most of my patches are dual amp with a wide range of crystal clean to really dirty, plus a bunch of FX available as needed, all controlled with snapshots...not overly excited about going back to the one patch, one sound philosophy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of my patches are dual amp, with a bunch of other stuff going on...not overly excited about going back to the one patch, one sound philosophy. I agree. I like drawing up song specific presets with lots of things built in using snapshots.....however, for a simple grab and go type gig or open jams...simple presets with spillover is easier than having to try and draw 4-5 sounds of out 2 amps and a crazy amount of snapshot changes.

Most of the time I can get by with 4 snapshots... clean, a little breakup, medium gain rhythm tone, and lead. I don't want to tap dance any more than I absolutely have to. I could accomplish the same thing with 4 separate patches and spillover, but there'd have to be some other compelling reason to redo all the grunt work, and at the moment I can't think of one. Otherwise I'd just be recreating everything, only to arrive right back where I started. If I were constantly hitting the DSP wall that would be one thing, but that rarely happens. We'll see...I'll fiddle with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll see...I'll fiddle with it. Again, I agree....I've resorted to 6 core tones (so far), clean/gritty/push/crunch/rock/hard rock. and then lead versions of each of those. I'll arrange them in one 'setlist' so that I have different options available in different banks. But Its more work in HX Edit than tap dancing. Although I did challenge myself to recreate tones on Path A only....just to see if I could do it (always seem to make presets more complicated). With the new favorites, amps, OD's...I've never created presets that sound so good from scratch so quickly. It was a little bit of work to set up what I stored as favorites (and more work to go there as well) but its rediculously fast now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
