I recently added a Sonic Maximizer to my guitar rig with the hope of clarifying and tightening up the sound.

Not being to familiar with this piece of equipment, I followed the advice of the manual as to where to include it in the signal path.

The problem is; I don't seem to hear a noticeable difference in the sound unless I completely tweak out the "Proccess" and "Lo Contour" knobs.
And even then, you can't tell much difference!

My only conclusion is that I must not have it placed in the right area of the signal path. The signal runs as follows:

1. Guitar into amp input.

2. Cable leading from Pre-DSP send on amp, to Noise Exterminator.

3. Patch from Noise Exterminator, to Sonic Maximizer.

4. Cable back to Pre-DSP return on amp.

5. Amp to speaker cabinet.

Is there a flaw here somewhere?

If anyone has any experience with these type of proccessors, or advice on their use, I would sure appreciate the help. Thanks in advance.

P.S.: I was'nt expecting a "Huge" difference in the sound, but I was expecting at least something a little more "there"! As of the present, I'm starting to wonder if it's a useful item at all in a guitar rack. :cool:
