petermengede Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 I'm running my HS Xstomp in the loop of my quickrod using effects only. When I route my preset effects along path B ( parallel) I get full volume but not an optimal effect integration. When I route my effects along path A (series) I get a serious volume drop in the order of 5 to 6 db, even with all effects bypassed. Is this normal and if so how is this dealt with? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brue58ski Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 You would need to include a copy of your preset for this to be answered accurately. Or a detailed signal path. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Hi, Someone asked a very similar question earlier today. Simple answer - yes, it is normal and it involves a little bit of the science of physics named "Pan Law". Strap in - Here is the explanation for the difference in level when a path is split. Hope this helps/makes sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petermengede Posted October 24, 2023 Author Share Posted October 24, 2023 Thank you Datacommando. I will be able to understand how to balance my preset volumes now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
