Good evening everyone,
I checked the threads but i found nothing that could answer my questions. First of all, i'm new to the MULTIAMP so, i'm sorry if my questions are stupid/not real issues.
This said, here are my problems :
- Some of the crunch/distorted channels seem to not work properly. I mean with the gain pot at his maximum, on Top 30 ch.2, XTC ch. 2/3 i only get a light overdriven sound.
I read here that there are "advanced settings" for some amps by pushing the "enter" button on the amp slot (it's 11pm i can't turn on my MA to verify this...). Do this settings help to
have that fat Bogner-style sound ?
- I made some presets with the Darkface simulation. However, when i store the preset and then recall it, there are some high frequencies that add on my sound. No matter how I set my EQ when I store the preset, there's a pitch in high frequencies when I recall it. I don't understand where it comes from and it seems to happen only on my Darkface presets.
- I've read that the tuner can be assigned on control change 28 on a midi peadalboard. I'm using a Yamaha MFC10 and when i go into the control change map of the MA it jumps from the CC 27 to the CC 29, no CC 28/tuner. No problem to switch between the presets, but no way to assign the tuner. Am I doing something wrong ?
My firmware is the V4, I've purchased my MA new 3 weeks ago. I found nothing in DV Mark's manuals, that's why i'm asking for your help. I hope my unit isn't defective... The MULTIAMP is really a wonderful tool, with great sounds (i recorded last week with it), easy to use and it would be perfect without this small issues.
Thank in advance for your help and sorry for the mistakes, it's been a while since i've spoken english !

Hi!
Afaik is the tuner fixed to CC#28 - so you don't have to change anything on the MULTIAMP itself. You have to programm a switch on your Yamaha MFC10 that sends a CC#28 Message to turn the tuner on and off.
Some Amps do have more features, when selecting the Amp Block. The Bogner Ecstasy is one of those amps. Choose the Amp, select the Amp Block and press "Enter". Set The "Boost" and "Structure" to On - and the Gain will be there. If you need more, then go to Channel 3 (red). Some Amps have extra features (Triple 6, Recto, ...) too.
I don't use the Darkface Simulation, so I can't say much about this issue. But I remember a thread somewhere in this forum, where someone had problems with this particular Amp model too. So maybe this amp model really has a bug.
Rock On

Hi Thony!
Yep I personally called those "advanced settings" but it's not their proper name; actually I don't know how they're called so i named them that way ahah.
Anyway yes, they DEFINITELY help you to get a distorted sound, there's also a boost in the XTC and in the Triple 6.
We already talked a bit about the "darkface issue" in a other thread, I didn't remember which one was; anyway we all have that problem (even though I haven't check it personally), we're hopin for a Firmware 5.0 which will solve the problem.
I don't know much about the tuner since i don't have a pedalboard, try a little bit more and let us know what happen.

Thanks for your answers ! It's ok, I've found the advanced settings for the amps and i managed to get a distorted sound on the XTC channels. It's very useful on the Rectifier simulations too ! I found how to assign the tuner to my midi pedalboard. It was a bit "difficult" because I'm not used to midi but nothing that's impossible ! Once you've understood how it works, the MA is still easy to use. That"s a shame there is a bug on the Darkface simulation, because it is very good to me. Never mind, there are other clean amps that are very good on the MA ! I'm curious to see what will bring the firmware 5.0, the MA is close to perfection. I'm working on Guthrie Govan's Waves, recording directly with the MA, i'll share with you when it will be finished !  |

It is!!!!
Totally change the way you approach to an amp!
I've never used a midi pedalboard with the MULTIAMP so I don't know, just glad you finally found it.
Just hopin for new amps, effects, cabs and more features and maybe some bug fixes. MULTIAMP is awesome but definitely needs more work on it.
I love Guthrie Govan, he's awesome; I've personally tried to match his sound but with no good results.
Let us hear something if you want to, there's a specific part of the website where you can put videos or audio!

That's right ! I've never spend so much time on setting my amp that now I own the MULTIAMP. It's really interesting.
The midi pedalboard is obligatory to me if you want to use it in live context.
Yes, i've seen him 3 times and each time he amazed me. Didn't try to match his sound, I should 'cause he has a really interestnig one no matter the kind of amp he uses (Suhr, Fractal, Victory).

Once you've understood how it works, the MA is still easy to use. Hi Thony, could you walk me through that process step-by-step? Thanks Hi Marius, I'll try to explain because i'm not very used to midi yet. You've got to program your midi pedalboard in order to make him send a control change to the MA (check your pedalboard manual, it's different from one to another). The tuner is assigned on control change #28 on the MA. That's to say if you go into the control change menu in your MA, you have the CC #27 #29 but no #28 assignable 'cause it's already affected to the tuner. On your pedalboard choose a switch that will send the CC to the MA (for example i choose the switch #0 on my Yamaha). Enter in you pedalboard control change settings, programm the switch X in order to make him send the CC#28, save the settings on your pedalboard and it's ok. You don't have anything else to do. Push the pedalboard's switch that you choose to activate/desactivate the tuner. If you have the DV Mark Midi pedalboard there's a tutorial made by the guys of DV Mark for this function. I'm not sure but i guess it's already programmed in the pedalboard. Hope this will help you |

I'm working on Guthrie Govan's Waves, recording directly with the MA, i'll share with you when it will be finished ! Hi Thony, I' ve the same problem with the Darkness amp simulation (one of the best simulation of the MA) and I have the MONO version of MA. I' ve send an e-mail to Riccardo with the file of my preset list with parameter (he said to do an "export" of this file from the MA to an SD card , now I' don't remember how to do this process) 6 or 7 month later but he never answer to me. With firmware 3.0 I had no problem, with the upgrade to firmware 4.0 my Darkness simulation is impossible to use, too much treble added to the sound when you store it. The problem start when you store clean sound with Darkness, change preset (for example change to a preset with a distorted sound) and then come back to the clean sound stored before. The Darkness is unusefull but I' ve found a valid alternative with the clean channel (CH 1) of Maragold . Very impressive, my new standard amp simulation for all the clean sounds. Even better than Darkness, or, in alternative, the Bogner XTC clean channel, I've found it very very similar to a typical Fender Twin Reverb sound. Maragold can produce a clean sound full, like clean sound of John Mayer, one of my favorite clean Strat sound of all time probably, mid scooped and warm. I cant' find a really cool distorted sound in my MA, I like Heavy 51 (brown sound) or Extacy CH3 (more Marshall sound) but they are not the "state of the art" sound that I'm searching for. I need a "classic" distorted sound, not the new "Mesa" style modern rock distorted sound, i prefer VAn Halen distorted sound or similar, not new metal or Djeng ecc......... bye Alessandro |

Well, it would be a problem with the firmware so..
That's prejudicial there's no customer service at DV Mark especially for the MULTIAMP. It seems that there are a lot of minor problems but no infos, only demonstration/ advertising videos.
I think DV Mark is losing a lot of potential customers. I have to admit, i wasn't very confident when i purchased my MA because of this. That's a shame because the MULTIAMP is really a great tool that sounds very well.
I'm doing the same thing as you, i'm using the Maragold amp for clean sounds. The simulation of the Maragold is impressive. I owned a Maragold before the MA and the simulation behaves exactly like the real amp. It's probably better 'cause the Maragold is nearly impossible to use at slow volume if you want a good crunch/distorted sound.
For my needs with my band i'm using SLO ch.2 and Rectifier ch.3 simulations for the distorted sounds and the job is done.
What do you mean exactly by "classic distorted sound" ? Do you mean Marshall sounds ? 'cause if it's what you're looking for the MA does it really well to me.
