Weird flanging sound when connected in a
parallel effects loop
When using any effects processor in an effects
loop it is essential that the loop is either 100%
serial or that you use the G-Sharp killdry
function. Killdry is activated using the switch on
the rear panel.
The reason for this is that any digital
processing unit has a slight delay (G-Sharp has
less than 2ms), and when a slightly delayed dry
signal is mixed with an unprocessed signal a
flanging/phased type sound occurs. In that case
it definitely seam as if the G-Sharp is coloring
your sound in a highly unintended way.
You can test the effect loop of most amp types
by inserting a jack cable to the send of the
preamp. The signal should be muted 100%.
If your loop is a parallel type it probably has a
mix knob, or built in mix function if it is a MIDI
preamp. In that case we suggest using the G-
Sharp killdry function. You can then control the
amount of effect using the amps loop mix-
control and the EFFECTS and REVERB mix
controls on the G-Sharp.
No response when using a MIDI pedal
Ensure that the MIDI pedal is sending on the
same channel as the G-Sharp is set to receive
on. The default MIDI channel for G-Sharp is “1”.
Refer to this manuals section on MIDI to learn
how to change MIDI channels.
