Use case scenario: Rickenbacker Ric-O-Sound.
You could transpose this for any stereo guitar really, but I’ll continue.
I run my bridge pickup into a guitar rig on input 2, and my neck pickup into a bass rig on input 1. Then I output the bass rig to the input of my blend pedal, and send output 2 into my effects channel, returning into the blend pedal. I separate the rigs because I can setup different gates to accommodate the different hum levels on each pickup, PLUS I can really dial in that Ric tone of the bridge pickup by isolating it and allowing it to sing.
I REALLY like the Dwarf’s flexibility. I noticed right off the bat that the system options adding separate I/O gains for each input, adding comp and gate options on the Inputs as well as outputs, etc… SUPER handy when trying to plug the MOD into a board and get the sound limits dialed in.
This said, I can’t find a true bypass setting anywhere on the device - which was one of my biggest problems with my older Line6 POD X3. It’s GOOD to have a sense of the actual unfiltered channels to help balance the tuning of the effects box. Am I missing something or was it inadvertently omitted? The plugin is no longer in the library, it isn’t on my Dwarf, and I don’t have a bypass option as stated in the WebGUI user guide.
If I want to bypass one or the other specific output’s effects and overall tone shape, there doesn’t seem to be an option.
Please help!
