Ahh yes that definitely explains number 2. It’d be handy if that function could be turned off and have the encoder only change the Effect. Is that to give incremental control over each knob?

Issue number 1 is weirder though – almost if there’s some circuit leakage somewhere. Please excuse my crappy wording above – I’ll try a ‘commentated’ version instead 🙂

“I want to change the Effect from eg. Chorus to Rotary. I turn the rotary encoder. Turning, turning turning… cycling through the Effect categories… Phaser, Q-Wah, Flanger, oops now it’s changing the Speed of the Flanger and the screen is showing a readout of Hz.”

The issue doesn’t always happen. Often I can keep turning and it moves perfectly well through all the Effect categories. It can happen on any Effect (eg. Chorus, Phaser, etc.), although it when it occurs it always jumps to the Speed parameter. 

Strange, isn’t it?
