This is probably more of a Strymon issue than PBC but I thought I would mention it and see if anyone else has a similar problem.
It appears to me that turning on and off a Loop on the PBC effectively mutes and unmutes the send but not the return. Therefore if you have a noisy pedal or a pedal with a noticeable LFO sweep in the background you can still hear this even when the loop is turned off. Is that correct?
At the moment I have my Strymon Timeline in Loop 9 in parallel followed by a TC Hall of Fame in Loop 10 also in parallel. If the Timeline is sitting on a preset with a high level of feedback/repeats and/or an LFO sweep I can still hear the sweep even when the T/L is switched out of the path i.e. Loop 9 is off. Also sometimes the T/L goes into self oscillation and repeats start building up and eventually becoming uncontrollable even when Loop 9 is off.
I have just tried to fix this by making the button controlling Loop 9 also send a toggle on off CC102 (the bypass command for the T/L) when turning the loop on and off. This seems to stop the sweep and feedback issue but it also creates an audible pop.
Is there a way round this? Will it only happen if I run the loop in parallel mode? I have an old Mesa Dual Rectifier with a parallel FX loop which also does the same thing so I am starting to think the issue is to do with parallel loops.
Any ideas?
