Hi there everybody,
I just got my p38ex two weeks ago and have been investigating that box since then.
While playing around I did notice some strange behaviour:
– When the mix knob is turned into 100% compression and the compressor is inactive via the switch with the blue LED
levels on incoming sound will be lowered by almost 5-6 dBFS (measured at the AD converter).
Basically the compressor circuit is bypassed but still it seems the ciruciut alters the overall level of the sound.
– Turning the wet knob to 0% (only dry) accurately gives back the sounds level as it is being fed into the box.
– There is no difference between having the compressor switched off and having threshold at 0. (Which I tried just to be sure its not the compressor circuit that lowers the signal level).
So all this is quite weird behaviour, as I was suspecting the box not to touch the sound at all when I bypass the compressor, set stereo width to 100% (middle setting), output gain to 0, input gain to 6.
Any help or advisory is appreciated,
cheers,
Ingo
