Anyway to turn off reverb using a footswitch on vocal channel/s when talking inbetween songs?
I assume not?
I really cant walk over to the desk prior to talking to the audience each time.
Yes, I guess I could use the iPad, but I really dont like having the iPad attached to the mic stand as I move around a heck of a lot on stage and it gets knocked over quite often.
Please search for one of my blogs offering a solution, our techie is in the final stages of building a bespoke pedal that will connect via the network port on the rear of the QU series giving you the ability of muting the FX.
He will be building 6 pedals in total intially to gauge interest, I will keep everyone updated on this, but for the moment I have to use my iPad to mute the FX, not ideal but it works for the timebeing.
Could you run a second mic, maybe through a foot switch, and run a ducking gate in the FX keyed from the second mic (which wouldn’t need to be played anywhere)?
Even a second feed from the same mic – a y cable or split it in a custom footswitch
Until A&H make the QU series except multiple devices there is no other better option (in my opinion), why have a desk full of good FX’s only to route your signal to an external unit? I did think of that before buying but soon disregarded it.
Reading around it looks like a USB midi signal could be used alongside the iPad over ethernet.
If so then a simple “mute” button on a smartphone connecting to something like a Raspberry Pi (other cheap computers exist, particularly one you already have) could do the trick, given a Raspberry Pi on stage of course a simple footswitch on a GPIO pin could do the same job.
