SOLVED - USER ERROR - SORRY - 2.6 - Effects Loop Not Usable

BuckeyeBrown · Sep 7th 2014

Just did the update and the effects loops are totally jacked. I rebooted and my KPA freaked out with all feedback. I rebooted and the book up rig was fine. I then engaged my loop again on another rig and it was back again - full red LED with feedback. I quickly turned the knob on the 3 available loop effects and they all have this issue.

I'm sure this will get address soon but wanted to report to see if others could check their profiler.

Check what the outputs you connect your outboard gear to are set to.
Could be that some config has changed here with the update.

the "direct out" was changed from "git analog" to "master right" i realized that when a friend had problems to profile.
Just change that in the outputsection

You can fix that on your own
Its very easy...Presss on "output" and change the "Direct Output" to "Git Analog" - Done

From which version did you update from?

BuckeyeBrown · Sep 15th 2014

Sorry everyone. I have been traveling for work and then busy at home so I haven't tried to check the output settings.

Timo, I was on the very latest available before moving to 2.6 but can't remember if it was 2.5 beta or 2.5 release.

I Did before and still the same problem

How much direct output level it is recomended for loop?

I drastically reduced the loops output settings which will get rid of the feedback when you have it super low but it also makes the volume level super low. I have the loop locked on so I didn't do anything to change anything. I updated the firmware and now have the problem. I'll play around with it again tonight and see if I can check those output settings that was suggested above. To your question however I use to have my loop output level anywhere from 100-105%. going above helped me achieve parity volume when turning the loop on and off - due to long cables/multiple pedals slightly decreasing the signal back.

Does the problem persist?
We have no more similar reports. The Effect loop code was not touched for the 2.6.
The output settings should not matter.
Does a system reset cure the problem?

BuckeyeBrown · Sep 16th 2014

I'm on it and the problem does persist. I've moved the loop from MOD to X to stomps section and I get the same thing. The output settings don't matter at all. I've switched through them and aside from a very brief change the master remains full red on the LED and the feedback continues. It changes pitch sometimes which is strange. I also noticed that the mono loop and distortion loop sounds are a bit louder and come from one speaker more and the stereo loop isn't quiet as loud and comes from the other speaker. No clue but I'll try a system reset once I look up how to do it again - its been a long time.

I'll report back...

BuckeyeBrown · Sep 16th 2014

Sorry all - Problem Solved.

Did a reset but nada...

Realized that I tried a new digital connection that I heard about on here using a mini fiber cable into my Mac. I was playing around through Garage Band and had to change some settings on in interface. Well I didn't save the settings and when my power went out recently what came back caused a feedback loop in my interfaces settings.

Sorry for the distraction!

ckemper · Sep 17th 2014

Nope, my friend, there is indeed a bug in 2.6 and we have found it with your help.

It only appears on a stereo loop, and if the Output Source for Direct Out is set to Master.
This will be fixed for the next firmware.
There is an easy workaround: don't set the Source to Master, but to Git+Processing or something else.
A system reset does exactly this.

Thank you!
CK
