voxman55 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Hi guys - I was just wondering if within snapshots you can alter the signal chain eg change the position of a flanger? I suspect the answer is that you probably can't but just wanted to double check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 You’re right - you can’t. The selection and position of blocks in a preset is fixed with respect to snapshots. You can change the on/off state and parameter settings in snapshots but not the selection or positioning of the blocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's under the Octopuses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 You’d think all those octopuses would have enough arms to discretely reposition a block as you changed snapshots. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm struggling to understand why you cant change a patch chain order...its illogical because you're still only using what's there and you're not adding anything new. As we all know, changing effect chain order can drastically impact on tone and it would be a useful feature. Interestingly you can change the cab microphone selection between different snapshots which can be useful to change tone in the same patch.

silverhead Posted January 8, 2022 Share Posted January 8, 2022 I don’t know for sure but my guess would be that it’s not as much DSP capacity as a different reason. Allowing snapshots to switch amp or FX models would probably result in the sort of audio gaps that defeats the main purpose of snapshots. The audio gap between presets is caused by loading new preset structure and model data. That’s what would be required here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
