So picked up an old intellifex, it's got no manual. Went to Rocktron's site and they have manuals for the XL, LTD and On-line. None for this one: http://medias.audiofanzine.com/images/n ... -35356.jpg I'd imagine there's a lot of carry over between these models for basic functions? I'll need to figure out the midi # stuff for control with my ground control pro...and I'm a midi dummy :doh:
 
Any of those manuals will work for what you need. Rocktron's MIDI management is pretty much the same throughout their entire lineup, and it's super simple to figure out.
 
Those sound great! I'm going to use the intellifex as the wet side of my wet/dry rig, so I won't be using it in stereo but I may still be interested. Really like the modulated reverb and cloud swells a lot.

What kind of signal chain do you have going on? I might be able to figure something out as far as having stereo patches with that.
 
Not sure yet as I'm redoing my rig. It'll be stompbox pedal board->amp->line out of amp->intellifex->to VHT 2/50/2. Everything controlled by gcx/gcp.

You won't really lose any tone going through the Intellifex--it's one of the rare digital rack units that doesn't run your dry signal through A/D/A conversion (analog pass-through). So, depending on the configuration you have:

(1) Combo Amp + Power Amp (1 speaker) -- Pedalboard -> Amp -> (amp line out) -> Intellifex (L/Mono In) ->
-> Intellifex L out -> FX return on Combo Amp
-> Intellifex R out -> VHT poweramp -> speaker cabinet

or...

(2) Combo Amp + Power Amp (2 speakers) -- Pedalboard -> Amp -> (amp line out) -> Intellifex (L/Mono In) ->
-> Intellifex L out -> VHT Poweramp L input -> speaker cab
-> Intellifex R out -> VHT Poweramp R input -> speaker cab

If you were doing a Wet/Dry to keep the signals balanced better, there's a very easy way to do this on the Intellifex: patch an expression pedal to control Effect Level for each preset, and you're set! It's like having a mixer for free (well, technically it is, it's all in there), and you can even control levels for Left and Right dry signals passing through the Intellifex as well. In fact, those two metal split chorus presets require this, because they kill one side of the dry signal and replace it with a modulated delay, sometimes two for some extra thickness.
 
bumping an old thread to say thanks to analogkid85 for the Soundcloud link. I just bought an Intellifex from another R/Ter a few moments ago and that Soundclick page is what got me interested in getting one. I also downloaded the patches so we'll how that goes when I get the unit and try to program it!

I'll make a thread demo-ing it when it arrives. You have been warned.
