Pedal behavior change when I move to new path

[trhx]

I have Path 1 with a Loop, Compressor, OD and 2 Amps feeding into Path 2 with cabinet and more effects. Path 2a splits right before it goes out the XLR outputs. That split shouldn't be relevant, but will detail in a bit.

 

Path 2 has a parametric EQ block that I use for a boost placed right before the cab. No particular reason for that placement, but it's been working as intended.

 

I wanted to add a couple of additional reverb and delay blocks to path 2 but needed to move something to make room. I had room after the second amp on Path 1, so I moved the EQ boost there. The move did not change the order of the blocks - the EQ was still the first effect after the amp. It did wipe out the EQ footswitch assignment, but easy enough to reset that.

 

The EQ gain level is set to 3.5 and frequencies are tweaked to accentuate the mids just a bit. Before I moved the block, it would give a pretty noticeable boost. After I moved it to Path 1,  it made almost no difference. Cranking the gain up to 10 made some difference, but still not as much. Like I said, I only added reverb and delay, so I hadn't done something dumb like add a compressor. I removed the new reverb and delay from Path 2, but still no difference.

 

The split on Path 2 I mentioned was for a separate EQ on Path 2b before going out the 1/4" output to my physical amp for monitoring. I don't think that's relevant because the EQ boost worked in the mains and my monitor amp before I moved it. After the move, both outputs had the new lack of boost.

 

Any idea what's happening here? It isn't a DSP issue, is it? AFAIK, running out of DSP on a path just prevents blocks being added, not the functionality of settings on blocks in the path.

I tried to duplicate your problem but could not. The Para EQ boosts the same amount (measured by meter) in either path.

Attach the original preset and I'll see if I can find your problem.

Thanks for checking. I'll try to replicate and will post the before and after or report if it was a fluke.

False alarm. I had a split path in Path 1 that I didn't mention because I thought it was set up as serial. I should've checked that before I posted and/or included in my post.

 

Thanks for the offer to help.
