Stilwell on A3 and Mysterious ways: I don't use anything to "warm-up" the sdd-2000. My signal path is really simple. Keep in mind that I'm not using a "real" Vox AC-30. Those are just speaker cabinets. Your question made is sound like I was pluggin my SDD-2000 into an AC30, but I'm not. Korg A3 - Myst Ways Auto-wah, OD, delay,flange, reverb Pod XT Pro - AC30 simulation, and a touch of reverb SDD-2000 - mod delay obviously for Bad and Streets DHP33 - shimmer at the end of the Bad clip Marshall power amp going to 2 Vox cabs As for A3 settings, I keep forgetting to write them down when I'm at our rehearsal space. I do have the settings that are in my at-home A3 I'll post those. They should be close.
