Hello,

I was wondering what's so special about outputs 3/4? What is the advantage of 3/4? (Of course, this allows for separate EQ, and tube bypass - but no FX - but this doesn't sound that revolutionary...)

Maybe this is a leftover from previous hardware models? Maybe to bypass the tubes? Use as separate monitoring channels? (eg the metronome).

Maybe it would allow to multitrack and therefore permit DAW work n the separate tracks?

thx.

it's not that revolutionary until you start using external FX units on the 3/4 and porting them back into the box input.. or are bussing out a kick separately to sidechain a compressor. as well as the obvious advantage of separating parts to EQ or multitrack them.

without the 3/4 outs you wouldn't be able to use an external fx unit and bus it back into the box... or bus any part back in to use the audio-in+comb for dual filtering or dual LFO (the main outs bussed back into the box would just cause insane feedback)

Ah yes, for FX send/return!

Thanks!

Well. It's outside the box really. They're for whatever you want to utilize them for.
The only issue i have is that there are not more individual outputs. Wish there were more routing options. Rolling Eyes

yeah I want moooree. I'm setting them up to have the kick on main L, snare on main R and open and closed hats on indv. 3 and either key bass or everything else on 4. all four lines running into my interface and onto four audio tracks in ableton. Currently trying to figure out how to sync the tempo grid on ableton, it should be possible without using a midi cable or anything like that. It shows as double on ableton (220 but 110 on esx) and is out of time with the grid lines :S

They are also useful for sending a click track to your Monotribe ......... and your Volca...... probably...... if they ever arrive Rolling Eyes

For me and the way I've set up things, it kinda sucks the effects are disabled on outputs 3 & 4

Btw. Is it normal that 3/4 bus levels are REALLY low? Even comparing to dry L/R signal without any valve saturation it seems like some 20dB lower. Yeah, I can turn up the gain on the mixer but then I get quite a lot of annoying noise...

Bless!

Anyone maybe have an idea why I'm not getting sound off output 4? I'm passing ESX into itself with a Y from outputs 1-2 into audio-in and then routing my audio-in to outputs 3/4. In the global menu I've made sure to set my audio-in to stereo, but still I only get sound out the left side(output 3). Is there anywhere I have to assign output 3/4 to stereo?
