fleabag Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Anybody tried factory resetting their B2.1u ? Its apparently simple - just hold down 'STORE' as you switch on the power. One should then see ' AL ' ( All Initialize, so they say ) light up in the Bank / Patch window. But all i get is whatever the last bank/patch was being used before switching off. No amount of switching + holding the store button will get me an ' AL' in the window to reset to factory. Anyone else had this problem ? Other than that, the pedal works like a charm. All buttons work as they should when editing or changing or whatever. Just cant get into the factory reset state. ODD !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I have done it, but just didn't have any problems, so that''s no help sorry!! I thought it might be worth mentioning that the standard patches aren't very good, so it's probably not worth doing a factory reset - just create your own patches.

fleabag Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 I did manage to sort it in the end. It seems the timing of when pressing the store button while switching on the power is more critical than i thought. Yes i agree, the factory patches are 90% useless, but i needed to start again. The biggest headache i keep finding is how to equalize the volume of all patches after i have tweaked them to suit me. I could never get them all level. The volume jumps when switching patches is a bit grim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 There's a volume setting for each patch though, just set it right and save it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 (edited) So you managed to equal all your volumes ? I tried so many times, just didnt work. any tips greatly received Hey Chedd - seen this ?

cheddatom Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I have seen it but never bothered to try any. To be honest, I don't use my B2 for much, just 6 patches or so, so it wasn't hard to level them out. In the amp model section you can set the volume*, and if you do it at gigging volume through your amp (crucial) you should be able to match them up. *I think, I haven't actually changed any patches on there in a while.

fleabag Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 Thanks mate - i think about 6 is all i use too. I'll sort it out in the end, i'm sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 the important thing to remember is do it at gigging volume. I set all mine with headphones and had to re-do it, so I did it through the amp but not loud enough and had to re-do it again!!!

fleabag Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 I made that mistake too. I set mine at bedroom level, and when you kick your amp in at gig time, its all over the place I'll have to wait till the neighbours go out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheddatom Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 the same thing happened with a mate of mine. I recommended the zoom and he bought it to record with. He made a few patches that sound amazing on his home demos. Then he started jamming with a band and the levels were as you say, all over the place. I don't actually understand the science behind this. I think the louder you have something, the more low end you hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fleabag Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 That would make perfect sense. I set my B2 through the amp at low level, with a lot of mids, and when up at proper vol levels, i was almost blowin the cones outta ma cabs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
