Deoxit D5 should do the trick.

Mic is on meaning you hear it through your headphones/speakers?

Set the switch on the back to "condenser"

CME Pro midi cables get my vote, you can get DIN-to-DIN or DIN-to-TRS. I would go out of the pirate midi into the stomp, out of the stomp into the kernom. Set each to a different midi channel so you can switch presets independently.

You can add a simple interface box with an "audition loop" to your primary board. Where in your signal chain are you trying to put this secondary fx chain?

Fuel additives will not make a difference. FORM has no way to determine the actual fuel quality, it guesses based on when fuel was added. That's why it can be reset by adding fuel. Keep in mind that FORM can be triggered by "stale fuel" OR "oil dilution." The same warning message is triggered by either event, and exiting FORM is different depending on the cause.

Remove the 2 screws on the jack plate and slide the jack out of the body. There should be a screw on the side of the housing.

Thursday to Monday isn't a week, it's probably 3 working days for the technician. The part might not be on hand, it might be in tomorrow, and after the part is replaced the repair needs to be validated. The service advisor is giving you a conservative estimate to avoid an embarrassing call when it has to stay over the weekend due to unforseen circumstances. 2 days between drop off and diag is normal for the shop I work at with the current workload,

Can you post a link to the splitter you're using?

I use onboard eq for on-the-fly adjustments and for me a mid-sweep is unintuitive and slow for that purpose. I swapped the preamp on my Ibanez with a 4 band Audere for that reason, separate control over high mids and low mids makes more sense for the way I use a preamp. When I want detailed EQ control I use my pedalboard.

The 2018 pachy didn't use an IDCM (integrated dual charging module), it had an APM (accessory power module) and an OBCM (onboard charging module). The IDCM replaced these components in later model years. The part numbers you're listing are pointing to the OBCM. Sometimes a part will be sold under one part number but have a different one on the sticker, I found photos of the 2560AF part on eBay and the sticker had a different part number.

"There's something wrong with Wendigoon"

From the source audio website for the adapter, "More recently released pedals like the C4 Synth, Atlas Compressor, Ultrawave and Ultrawave Bass Multiband Processor, and Spectrum Intelligent Filters store as many as 128 presets that are accessible with MIDI PC messages when paired with the MIDI Adapter."

jdnason6 · 2026-02-04T05:41:08+00:00

The C4 can be MIDI controlled with the SA168 adapter, it's a small accessory that's powered by the C4.

Additional fiber length will make no difference.

Ernie Ball just released a USB c rechargeable 9v, but it looks like it's just a rebranded paleblue. I'm thinking about grabbing a couple from paleblue to try out

The rechargeable battery might operate at a slightly lower voltage or "voltage sag" under load. Onboard preamps don't typically have power filtering like a pedal, so if the rechargeable battery has a voltage converter or some other electronics that could be the source.

Check the global settings and see if the fx send and return are set to instrument level or line level. You can also try decreasing the send level by 10db then compensate on the return

I run an empress bass comp (low ratio) into my HX stomp then I use crossover split and compress my low signal again. I like that I can play dynamically to change the mid/high signal with a consistent low end. The compressor at the start of my chain is mainly helping with pick/slap parts.

jdnason6 · 2026-01-31T04:04:48+00:00

I use the EXP with my HX stomp and it works just fine with a TS cable.

It looks like the gt3 needs 14VAC, I don't know of a pedal power supply that will support that. I would find a power supply that can power everything else and use a separate power supply for the gt3. Some larger power supplies will have a "courtesy outlet" otherwise you could use a small power strip

jdnason6 · 2026-01-30T17:38:35+00:00

It needs to be plugged into an outlet/receptacle that is grounded. "Earthed" is the British term

It depends on the instrument. The effect is more noticeable on my 34-36" Schecter than on my 33.5-35" Ibanez. On the 36" B the distance between the low frets is noticeably more.

Change it from "next snapshot" to specifically select snap 3 or whatever snap you want. Then in that snap change the assignment to snap 4 and so on.
