BOSS's AC3

[Dinky]

in the beginning,the ac3 was a need for me as i play both electric and acoustic sounds.after aquiring it and inserted it into the line up, well at first i didn't really thought about it but it becoming annoying when the volume drop is significant.feedback from this pedal too is great.is there something to do with "cosm" modelling technology or is it just the way i put the pedals in line?

AC3 users help me.

 

[zax]

It's the way you place em i think , i put it after my Wah and before my drives which is not the way its supposed to be placed but it works that way

 

[Dinky]

before everything?feedback wise?volume drop wise?

 

[ShredCow]

No, that is not normal.

And it shouldn't have anything to do with placement.

Unless, you have all your dirt pedals and stuff lined up, switched on for raging distortion... then you just flick on the AC3, in line with all your distortion.

 

[Dinky]

hmm

maybe i should try list down what is it in the line up.

guitar - TU 2 - LS 2 - Loop A ( PW 10 - CH 1 )
- Loop B ( DS 1 - BF 3 - PH 3 ) - AC 3 - DD 6 - amplifier


there its like that.about patch cables,im using them cheap colourful ones and johnson adaptors.

placement?power?patch cables?

i tried shifting the AC 3 before anything else in the line up but it was even worser.is it a faulty pedal?

 

[funktastic]

i've read in serval threads back that a lousy cable which in that case similarly to yours was a 'colourful cable' caused several hum and feedback.

 

[Dinky]

hmm perhaps.

Then do the logical thing... dissect the potential problem.

Run the AC3 ALONE - anything?

Then add in your pedalboard, one by one or section by section.
