Sustain Cuts Out
2007-06-16 by gamecockdude2001
Hey all: I've only had this unit for a few weeks. I really like it. I just noticed something about it though. If i pick a note and hold it, instead of just decaying out it goes for a few seconds then abruptly cuts out. If there is a delay or some other modulated effect with it then you hear that effect a little but not the original signal. This appplies to distorted presets. I cant tell anything on clear presets. The string volume swell setting appears to behave normally though. I don't know if this is normal or not. I've done factory resets, hard resets, and swapped out tubes, still the same thing. I did notice if the pitch of the note is lower it appears to sustain a little longer but nothing like i would think is normal I have it connected to a small mixer(behringer xenix 502) and ran back out into my cd/mp3 input. I have a a/b/y switch so i run an imput to the input of the amp head(line6 spider III) and the other input to the input of the digitech. This allows me to compare the sustain on the head to the digitech. Obviously the head has a much longer, decaying sustain. I have the artist software ver. 3, no ppc board. I've also tried the digitech just straight to the input of the head, without mixer. still the same thing. Does anyone have any ideas? or am I just hearing things. thanks Bill
