Members slw3k Posted January 27, 2010 Members Share Posted January 27, 2010 I am not sure if anyone has experience with Behringer 1222FX. It has a built-in effect processor. But I would like to hook up an external effect processor. How can I disable or bypass its internal one? It is not clear to me from the manual. Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soul-x Posted January 27, 2010 Members Share Posted January 27, 2010 Just connect from the FX send and return it into one of the aux returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soul-x Posted January 28, 2010 Members Share Posted January 28, 2010 So the FX send doesn't contain any of the internal effects? Behringer doesn't show a block diagram for the mixer, but it would be very unusual and pointless if it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMS Author Craig Vecchione Posted January 28, 2010 CMS Author Share Posted January 28, 2010 So the FX send doesn't contain any of the internal effects? Sorry, I've read the manual and can't make it out either. With no block diagram, and the chopped-up description of the controls, you'll have to simply experiment. I'm guessing that you simply leave the internal unit off (select no efx...."00" perhaps?) and raise the EFX to Main control and EFX send fader, and each EFX send for channels you want in the external unit.

Members Unalaska Posted January 28, 2010 Members Share Posted January 28, 2010 The FX send is switch, if there is no cable plugged into the FX send jack then the signal will route to the internal FX. If it is plugged in then will go out FX send andthe internal FX are dis-engaged. The external FX can be plugged in anywhere, channel strips work really well (make sure the aux that drives the FX is turned OFF). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members fingerpicker Posted January 29, 2010 Members Share Posted January 29, 2010 ^^^^^^ Maybe not... There is a 122fx (the older model) in a bar that I play in. It is powered up from lunchtime til midnight or so, used for background music in the bar and 2 gigs a day. Its been there at least 3-4 years and no problems at all.

If I started my truck every day and just let it run in the driveway, I probably would never wear out my tires, ball joints, brakes, or other components.

Members fingerpicker Posted January 30, 2010 Members Share Posted January 30, 2010 Well its being used for solo and duo acts twice a day and bands on the weekends, so its getting constantly adjusted and different channels are being used for different things. But yeah, its not being moved around daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Unalaska Posted January 30, 2010 Members Share Posted January 30, 2010 If aux is turned OFF, does it mean there will be signal going out to FX send? I guess I should have said if you route the FX back into a channel (not aux return) make sure that channel has the FX AUX send turned down. Ex: if the FX AUX send is Aux 3, then the channel the FX return is routed to (ch15/16?) has Aux 3 turned down. When you're dealing with a parallel effect (reverbs/delays etc are parallel, dynamics, comps,gates etc are serial) it is important to understand the that there is no relationship between aux send and aux return on a mixer, none. Label your FX cables as SEND and RETURN as well. The more regular ol' MONO channels you board has the easier it is, you've got room to put just about anything in those main channels. The smaller mixers make it hard since they use stereo channels with no eq, 2 sets per strip, tape inputs (who uses tape still?) that go toa switch then mains/control room outs. I'm looking at this behringer mixer on my desk used for recording (L/R busses are becoming more and more intermittent). Every input and output is being used, except CR outs. The little mixers are more confusing than the big ones! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
