kjiratsiekoedel Posted November 21 Share Posted November 21 I want to use my HX effects and two preamps with DI. My usecase: -I usually play electric guitar -sometimes I switch to acoustic guitar. I use the same input for that -I play in a silent band. So everything via DI's to the mixer. -I have two preamps with DI. 1 for electric guitar, 1 for acoustic guitar. So I use the FX loops on the HX effects and I use the FX loops on the preamps -I want to use the HX effects for my effects for both pathways. But I don't want the channels mixed up Setup: HX effects settings: -I don't fully understand, but this is the closest I could get to work. -FX loop 1: before hard panned Y split -FX loop 2: after split on de right -if FX loop 1 off & FX loop 2 on: then there is no signal from HX effects output 1 & signal from output 2. Great! -if FX loop 1 on & FX loop 2 off: then there is signal from HX effects output 1 & no signal from output 2. Great! -both off: no signal on both -both on: signals mixed So no problem there, just how I want it. Problem: I don't understand... -when I put FX loop 1 after the split (so hard panned to 1), then signal 1 also comes back to HX effects output 2. I Don't understand this. -same when I remove the split I have the feeling there should be another way to improve my settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted November 22 Share Posted November 22 If I'm understanding what you're after, the attached example preset should get it. Use Snapshots with the MIX and OUTPUTS assigned as shown. Set the Levels on the MIX Block as necessary in SS3. kjiratsiekoedel.hlx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjiratsiekoedel Posted November 27 Author Share Posted November 27 thank you! It helps me further to understand it. But it's working for me. It seems that the problem is that if there is an effect used between the merge/mixer and the main l/r, this effect blends both channels. Doesn't matter if i use a stereo/mono/legacy effect. Even when the channels are fully panned or 1 channel is set on -60dB level. When I remove or disable the effect, then it works! So your solution will only work for me when i put my post FX before the merge. So the merge is the last thing before main l/r. Problem is that every channel now needs it's own reverb instead of sharing the same one. So this doubles the amount of post FX. I use 2 reverbs, 1 delay and 1 chorus. There is not enough space for all these effects Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rd2rk Posted November 27 Share Posted November 27 Either I'm misunderstanding your problem or you're doing something wrong. The solution I provided works perfectly on my system. Attach a preset that demonstrates the problem. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
