Members miker2c Posted May 10, 2006 Members Share Posted May 10, 2006 Has anyone used this combination and run into this problem. I'm not talking about in patch changes. I'm talking about the time between the pick striking the strings and the sound coming out of the speaker cab. I run a simple rig: triaxis, m300, mesa 20/20 power amp into a mesa stereo 2X12 cab. I have run this combination directly out of the tri and into the m300 in series. I have put the m300 in the tri's fx loop and I have even split the signal so one channel goes directly from the tri to the poweramp and the other goes into the m300. Any way I run this there is incredible latency--almost like a slap back delay--but no sound on the pick strike. When I run the tri completely dry into the 20/20 there is no latency, and when I run it through the m300 on bypass there is no latency. I used to run this setup with an Engl 530 preamp and there were never any issues. Does it have something to do with the digital in the tri and the Engl being fully analog? Any help would be wonderful!! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cougar Hunter Posted May 11, 2006 Members Share Posted May 11, 2006 weird:confused: get a line mixer and run parallel. That's my only answer, or get a new efx processor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BillW Posted May 11, 2006 Members Share Posted May 11, 2006 sounds like the fx loop. Try going straight into the FX processor from the outs of the tri and out from the FX into the poweramp (!!! make sure you set levels correctly !!) that's what I had to do with my tri at first - sounded a little wierd (as in alot of EQ tweaking) but worked OK until I got the loop fixed. edited to add:ahhh. I didn't read fully - sounds like you tried that. Dude that is totally weird .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your Engl had a parallel effects loop then you wouldn't have noticed the dropout. This issue has been discussed in the User reviews of the M300. great reverb unit (actually one of the best I have ever heard) but those dropouts make it pretty much useless for a simple setup.
