So I think I fixed the drop in volume that occurred when I
placed my Vortex in my Repeaters effects loop. I took the STEREO OUTPUT of the Vortex
and ran it into a Furman Eq. With the EQ bypassed
on the Furman I used it to boost the output of the Vortex and then ran that
back into the Repeaters effect’s RETURNS. Everything seemed to be
working fine I was getting level on both Right and Left channels of the Furman and I
was able to apply appropriate gain to the OUTPUT of the Vortex so that there
was no drop in volume when the Vortex was engaged. BUT…. With the Furman in the equation I was then able to adjust the
gain of both Right and Left Vortex outputs independently via the Right and Left
outputs of the Furman. This led me to discover that adjusting the Right level
output of the Furman (aka right RETURN to the
Repeater) created no change in the Repeater’s audio output. When I
adjusted the left output on the Furman it had total control on the Repeater’s
audio output. It was if the Repeater’s Right effect’s return was
non-functional. So then I took it one step further and just unplugged the right
effect’s return. This led to no change in the Repeater’s audio
signal. I then plugged the right return back in and unplugged the left return, this muted the channels I was sending to the effects
return. So it seems to me that my Repeater has no need for its Right effect’s
return, I don’t get it… Any advice… Kevin McPeak |
