So I decided to put the hx stomp in the capo pre loop. Sounds good so I guess I didn’t mess anything up lol
It's the newest Lefebvre hotness.
It can be confusing. Now all of your delays and modulation are after what the preamp section is doing. The advantage is that you now have the benefit of the Capo’s preamp running into your multi-effect HX, rather than having the Stomp Box influencing your preamp.
How are you hooked up? Are you using it straight into your amp, or running it into another pre?
I dunno, but it has a feather in it. If you’re gonna wear a hat, it should always have a feather in it. Shows you got class. It’s a fancy Europe thing.
Start with the “A” side only. The “Bite” and “Deep” switch depressed. The “N” or “Style” knob interacts with both the “Gain” and “Level”. 10:00- 2:00 on the “Style” knob. I would start with both the “Gain” and “Level” knobs @ 10:00. The “Gain”, “Style” and “Level” knobs operate as three different preamps. It’s complicated.
To further complicate the Capo, the “B” side uses two small trim knobs as a volume boost over the “A” side. Be careful using the “B” side. The “Gain” trim acts just like a gain circuit and the “Level” is self explanatory, but if you depress the “B” side foot switch, the “B” side precedes the “”A” side. If the smaller trim buttons on the “B” side are turned up, its gonna sound awful. This is where the A/B switch comes in: it re-routes the signal from the “A” side to the boosted or cut “B” side.
You can do all kind of things with the Effect Loop; the volume of the Effect Loop is determined by the output of the effect. TBH, i dont know how this is determined using the “B” side, but using just the “A” side, the overall volume of the Effect Loop is further governed by the “Level” knob of the Capo.
@Gorilla Monsoon, thanks for the info!
I've got a Capo inbound in the next week or so!
In other news, I really enjoy the SS (of old).
Mulling it I should go for the new svelte SS.

Welp good luck to everyone in the morning! Should be fun. Hopefully we can all score one but I’m not holding my breath lol
Me either, but hoping for success for us all!
In case anyone misses the drop tomorrow, there's plan B:
