Carvin V3 Midi Setup Win

Posted on by
O2jam V3 MidiCarvin V3 Amp

Ok, so I read up on the 4-cable method and serial routing, etc. My V3, while hooked up in this mode, does not have any distortion when switched to any of the distortion channels. What happens is the guitar comes through clean, with the series loop activated, and it will pick up the effects (i.e. Reverb mod delay, etc) but the distortion is not there.

What's weird is when I switch the amp from one preset (clean channel) to the other (dist channel) the distortion is there for a split second, then disappears. To rule out certain things, the G is set to serial, my amp's smart loops are set to use the Series (that's what Carvin calls it on the V3) loop for both the clean and dirty channels. I have my guitar plugged in the front instrument jack (set in the utility as FRONT) the insert SEND goes to my amps front input; the insert loop is ON and the level at 0db; the INSERT RETURN is connected to my amp's Series Loop SEND; and the OUTPUT from the G goes to the amp's Series Loop RETURN. Is that correct? Sonic Impact Model 5090 Manual Woodworkers.

Could maybe one of my tubes be blown? I don't have any symptoms that suggest it, but I don't know what the dealie is. Well, that's it for now. Originally, I was trying to get past the delayed switching transitional effect (explained before), but finally got on here for help and tried the 4-cable method, but to no avail!!! Thanks a ton, guys!

I have a Carvin V3 amplifier, which has 3 channels and midi control capability, and I have a Digitech GSP 1101, which I control with the Digitech Control. Carvin V3 with G System and Vizor (Page 1) — G-System — TC Electronic Forum. It just doesn't work how it should with the V3. Set up your lead patches to turn.

Thanks a ton, guys! Are you switching the amp using the G - or are you using the amp's native switching?

Are you changing patches on the G-System? Do ALL of those patches have the insert loop on? If not, do you have the insert LOCK on as well? Last edited by Laird_Williams (2008-05-15 19:54:54).

Thanks for your response, LAIRD. Ok, I use the midi switching from the G for changing channels on my amp. I had the insert on within each preset, however, just now, when I turned on the unit, it showed the insert was OFF and the lock was OFF.

When I get into the MENU mode under the EDIT mode, and I go into the respective edits, is there a 'save' option I'm not hitting, because once I get done changing the feature (insert lock on or off) I just hit the MENU mode button and then it takes me back to the root menu, and then I hit the EDIT mode button and it goes back to LIVE mode. So maybe the save isn't taking place?? Anyway, I went ahead and tied my G unit from the guitar then to the amp, with only my Decimator Noise reduction (my V3 has always had a 'hum' problem no matter how good the ground is in the outlet) through my series loop and I can say that the potential is there!

I mean, the transition from clean to distortion is MUCH quicker. I'm going to try the thing again with the 4-cable method.
