Pvi8500

Post by 60212trj » Mon Nov 19, 2018 10:37 pm

Hi, I recently bought this mixer to do solo guitar work. It’s got everything I need. However, the onboard effects are weak. I’ve been using chorusing and reverb for years so I know what I like. The chorus in this head sounds like it’s in stereo with half the signal missing. The signal is wobbling but there’s no “sparkle” if you know what I mean. And the reverb is barely present. I’m hoping the problem is a switch I overlooked because I really want to keep this thing. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks- Rick

It could be your gain structure...where do you have the master volume control set? If it is set high and the channel is low, you may not be getting enough channel signal to the EFX section. Remember, the EFX send is post level control in the channel. This means the signal being sent to the EFX is not only controlled by the EFX send, but also by the channel level control.
