can I use the three PBC buffers with parallel stereo effects? For some reason engaging them kills my signal. Can't figure this out.
I started over from the top with the Mastermind editor. All seems fine now. I think I was doing something dumb. If I have any more problems, I will do that.It might be most helpful to upload your .rjs file that you edit your PBC with on here. Ron got to the bottom of my volume boost issue straight away after looking at my file.
Hope it’s OK if I jump in this tread as it seems to apply to me
I am having a problem ( maybe it’s just the way it works ) with a significant volume boost with loops 7,8,9,10…. My set up is
Loop 1 – CE2 Compressor
Loop 2 Nova Drive
Loop 3 BB Preamp
Loop 4 OCD
Loop 5 Shur Riot
Loop 6 EP Booster
Loop 7 Eventide H9 PARALLEL
Loop 8 Strymon Timeline PARALLEL
Loop 9 Strymon BigSky PARALLEL
Output A into Hot Rod Deluxe front end. Output B into front end of Kasha Robot ( ie both straight in not in effects loops )
7,8,9 are set to parallel and the effects are all in KILL DRY mode. Both buttons on back are OUT. ( the iso button is in ).
If I engage loop 7, 8, 9 ( or even 10 with nothing in it ) I get a MAJOR volume boost.
It does not matter what effects are on or off before # 7 … the effect is the same. If I unplug all of the effects in 7,8,9, and 10 the same thing still happens… major volume boost when I engage any of the loops?
Not sure what I am doing wrong or is this is an expected behavior? Thanks in advance for any help.
Yes they are all set to Parallel... I have a few patches where loop 7 is set to normal and the H9 is not in Kill Dry ( you are able to set this per preset with the H9 but not the Strymon pedals ) but most of the patches have all of the loops parallel.Is loop 10 set parallel? I think my issue may have been that I had loop 9 set to series? I'm not sure.

Thanks for your reply... I am sure I will get it figured out...Interesting! I didn't know that about the H9. I've asked Strymon to add that feature, but I'm told it's not high on their to-do list.
As for your problem, I'm out of suggestions. Sorry!
The Full Nelsons can you post your .rjs file? I had a similar issue due to the new Audio options in the latest Firmware releasesHope it’s OK if I jump in this tread as it seems to apply to me

That's weird! I'm running the Nixie firmware and I don't have these bugs. I have the incorrect tempo onscreen bug, but my spillover and kill dry seem to be working fine. I think.Here is the reply from Strymon

Hello David,
Sorry to hear about the trouble with your BigSky.
We have uncovered a bug with the Nixie beta firmware where your BigSky (and TimeLine) will always think Spillover (and KillDry, as it happens) is set to OFF, no matter what it is actually set to. This is fixed by going into the KillDry menu, setting it actually to OFF, then back ON. KillDry will then work as it is supposed to until you disconnect power. Every power cycle you will have to go through this procedure again.
If this is too much of an inconvenience, I can provide you with the previous firmware file and instructions on how to install it on your pedal. However, you will lose Nixie functionality as it will need this latest version to communicate with your BigSky.
Please let me know how you would like to proceed.
