Hey RG, you could put the eq and hush in the MP-1 loop and also split the return signal from the hush's out into the IPS in (or loop return) as well as the MP-1 return, then IPS A/B and MP-1 A/B into the mixer. You then control IPS levels with the mixer
That would mean getting another box to split the signal and therefore I think i'm making things more convoluted.
However, I could stick the EQ and HUSH in the loop, then send MP1 Out A to the Mixer, then send MP1 Out B to the IPS, and then the IPS to the mixer. Is that an option or have I over looked something here?
Basically this whole issue boils down to the IPS not having a good balance between bypassed signal and the wet/mix signal. It would all be resolved if the IPS output control did not affect the bypass signal.
So by that idea I mean, if I put it on bypass, the output knob has not control over the output. However this is not the case and If I adjust the wet mix to my liking, (normally right smack bang in the middle for me), then adjust the output to suit, then go back to bypass when not wanting IPS effect and suddenly the bypass is a lot louder than the un-bypassed. Where as if the output control only affected the wet/mix signal then you could control your mix to what ever you liked, and always match the bypassed signal using the output knob to control the un-bypassed.
Got to be a way of modifying that?
I thought of another way around this issue, use a loop pedal?
