High End Roll Off with PX-8?
Posted: Sat Oct 20, 2018 4:53 pm
Just got a used but very clean Dingbat Medium / PX-8 board with Mondo Power. Got everything set up and it all works perfectly. Great set-up. It may be just my ears, but I almost think the effects - particularly my Flanger - do not sound as prominent or noticable through the PX-8 loops as they did all chained together on the floor. My knee-jerk tells me that this really should be the other way around - that individual, isolated loops should provide more noticable ‘fidelity’ of each effect than chained together on the floor. Has anyone else noticed this using the PX-8? Are my ears just fatigued after a LONG day of measuring, routing, and zip-tying cables???
FWIW - this board included all the ‘lava’ patch cables that the previous owner had used to set up his rig. The 90* ends are the ‘solderless’ version that have a spike in the center of the plug end and an Allen screw to clamp the end down. I have never used this type of cable before. They are dead quiet with no static, but are these known to roll off a little high end? Should I spring for soldered Mogami patch cables to run between the effects and the PX-8?
Thank You All!
