gillento 44 Posted July 26, 2015 In that case, can the "Master" be used to change the volume on the fly without changes in the DI out? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoJoKe 143 Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) You can certainly adjust the master on the fly, I was doing just that last night! The DI out has its own level control, which is switchable on the rear panel +4/-10db, and there are additional DI options in the system menu. The DI Path can be set at the end of chain, post or pre amp EQ, and you can further adjust the DI Level. Edited July 26, 2015 by MoJoKe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gillento 44 Posted July 26, 2015 So let's say I need 3 or 4 patches for a set. Do I need to change all their programmed Master Volumes or does the Master pot takes care for all the patches. Does it come after the DI and after the programmed levels? Not knwing for sure is the one thing from buying one of these babies ....

Dood 1,113 Posted July 27, 2015 Not a deal breaker, but it's a shame the stereo version doesn't bridge to 4 Ohms? - OR is there a way of muting an unused channel? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dood 1,113 Posted July 27, 2015 I've just noticed that the mono version also has stereo line outputs - so worst case scenario, another amp could be ran as a slave for stereo operation. Interesting! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote] Ah fair enough, I guess the problem is that in order to run at 4 ohm bridged you would need to spec out the amp modules and power supply to be able to run 2 ohm stereo which would probably significantly increase the cost.

Dood 1,113 Posted July 28, 2015 I'm not sure it would - the Hartke LH1000 is capable of running bridged at 4 ohms and it's a monster amp for not much money. I appreciate it's an AB amp rather than D class but still, I'd expect that a little price hike was ok to swallow for the benefits. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some of the Factory Presets have MV included, and the output level jumps up and down all over the place as you select different patches! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MoJoKe 143 Posted August 6, 2015 My favourite amps are the Fender and Ampeg... I like the Trace Elliot too. All very authentic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ryancowell25 42 Posted September 9, 2015 Just done the update myself..... I would have thought the compressor at display would be some kind of threshold indicator Any thoughts anybody? Everything else seems to be there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MoJoKe 143 Posted September 9, 2015 The MIDI updates are really excellent, particularly as I use a Softstep, the new effects are a bit "meh" if you ask me. I have loaded the new compressor and nothing happens on the display when active... I'll report back more later! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
