![]() The stomp box sim’s are pretty much right on. And with the 4 cable method, this unit is great for gigging and keeping the rack small. The 1101 is kind of between a processor and a stomp box as far as controls, it’s a real nice balance! The sound quality of the effects are awesome there is even some licensed TC Electronics chorus and some Lexicon reverbs. I agree with Ned nice piece of gear, it is easy to program and even easier with the software package! I really like this unit allot, I’m usually the guy programming every little detail on a processor and enjoying the process (breaking out the calculator and figuring out where every delay is going to fall within a song and so on). I misstated what I had done to fix the hum issue earlier and realized I lifted the ground on both cables when I was racking everything tonight. Those setting plus lifting the ground on BOTH the preamp loop return and main output cables was what i had to do for curing the ground loop with the Mark IV. The proper setting for me is "flat" so i get the original intention of the tone through the outputs (even though I am using my mark IV as a power amp).Īnother few things I changed for the XLR outputs were to put the cab emulation on those and to have the level come out at -10 instead of the factory +4. I had it set to "tube amp" but it makes the whole preamp dark for some reason. The setting that was wrong for me was the power amp type. When I used the triaxis with it I had to crank the treble and presence to get a tone that I liked. I used the setup wizard which was great for getting me rolling right away but I thought all of the OD amps had no treble and just a bad overall tone. I do have to say this though: univibe on RHY1 and RHY2 is just awesome. If i can get the issue worked out I will definitely consider retiring the Mark IV as the sound is very similar between the two but the consistency wins over with the TA. What bugs me most is every time I plug into the TA i go to a certain preset and just PLAY without worrying about settings or things getting bumped. I will try to call Digitech in the next week or so to see if they have any engineering insight as to why this occurs. There must be something about the impedance or components of the input stage that cause a jump in the noise floor. The GSP even added noise to my Line 6 spider valve which is fairly quiet by itself. The tone remains the same it just adds a layer of white noise that I can't seem to get rid of. I am fully aware the TA is a monster with all of the circuitry but in my case the TA is literally dead quiet with a guitar plugged into it compared to just plugging the GSP loop send to the input of the TA. For experimentation's sake I recommend hooking the loop send of the GSP to a high gain amp and see if it adds any extra noise (not counting a ground loop which can be fixed by lifted the ground on the plug temporarily). My TA is usable by itself without a gate but it's pretty bad when run with the GSP.įor those not having issues with noise: the noise in my TA is only noticable with high gain settings and not any other time so I guess you're just lucky to not have a very high gain amp that brings that particular flaw out or my unit is just defective. Personally, I think there is a physical design problem that is causing the noise and the gate will only be covering up the underlying problem. If you download the new version of the editting software it now is Loop then NG so I hope this means there will be a fix for the noisegate issue. The software that came with my GSP had the order of effects as NG then Loop. I also tried using the GSP with my Line6 Spider Valve and it added noise to the input of that too. ![]() I just hooked my Quad preamp to the GSP and had the same results as with the TA. I still don't like that this unit adds noise to the signal which is only apparent for the LD channels of the Triaxis. V1.3 came with my GSP stock and it only gates the guitar BEFORE the loop which isn't the problem. I am thinking it could be extra gain added by the GSP, mismatched impedance, or a defective unit. ![]() ![]() Either my GSP is defective or there is possibly something that is causing this extra noise in the design. If I plug my guitar direct into the TA then it works normally with less noise (but the TA is never 100% silent with a lot of gain dialed up on the LD channels). Right? I have white noise that is added when i plug the loop send to the TA input. The problem you were talking about was related to a ground loop which is a wiring issue.
