[Solved] 30th Anniversary CA-X Amp Sim FX Chains No Longer Work with TH3 3.4.9?

Can anyone confirm, if you're using TH3 3.4.9?
 
  1. Load the Rock and Blues > Hard Rock TH3 FX Chain from the 30th Anniversary CA-X Amp Sims.
  2. Double-click on the TH3 label underneath the FX Chain to open it.
  3. Turn the FX Chain Drive Control. The Volume control in TH3 is supposed to move, but doesn't.
  4. Click the Bass Boost control. It's supposed to change the amp Bass control setting, but it doesn't change.
 
If I create a new FX Chain with TH3, I can assign an FX Chain control to some amp parameters but if I have two amps (e.g., for a parallel connection) I can assign an FX Chain control to one or the other, but if you assign it to one amp, then you can't control the other amp.
 
Anyway, if you use the 30th Anniversary CA-X amps, I'd advise not updating to TH3 3.4.9 until someone can confirm that this is, or is not, happening on only my system.

I'm not sure if the 3.4.9 update is at fault here.
 
I'm running 3.4.2, and the FX Chain Drive Control says it's connected to TH3 (vst3) - Chorus Amount. The bass boost button is connected to TH3 (vst3) - Chorus Dry.
 
If I manually change it to the correct controls, they work.
 
So maybe it was an earlier update that corrupted the mapping?
 
I'll try it again once I've upgraded to 3.4.9 to see if remapping the controls still works, but it looks like the mapping is not right as it is.

Im on TH3 3.4.5 and it doesnt move any controls in TH3 even on this version for me. Could be I'm doing something wrong but following your guide Hard Rock TH3 doesnt seem to be controlling anything. Hope that helps Craig.

If you right click on the FX Chain Control, and select "Edit Control" what TH3 parameter does it say it's controlling?
 
Like I said in my earlier post, mine is saying "TH3 (vst3) - Chorus Amount" which doesn't change any visible controls.

Yes your right, mine does the same changed and saved bass Boost and drive, but the ones for sonitus eq dont seem to work.

Whoops just found 2 more Sonitus EQ's in the chain so it is working on them.

Thanks for the data. So I'm not sure where the problem lies, but I'll make sure Cakewalk knows about it.

We're able to repro and are investigating what is causing this. Its also happening in Platinum fwiw.

A reproducible bug! The best kind!!!! Yes, I noticed it's happening in Platinum as well.
 
Thanks Noel!

I don't know how to make these presets work period. The whole thing is a mystery to me and can't find any step by steps to help.

You insert them like this, and use them like any other VST effect:
 

 
You can also insert them into the ProChannel:

It should be so easy. Apparently something in this one project is preventing ALL my plugins from working. They're all silent. I have no idea what that's about. Made a new project and they work now.

Hitting the E key will globally bypass all effects. I had situations where the graphic indicator light does not stay synced to the bypass key switch. Caught me un-aware a time or two.

I wanted to add that,  though I use S-gear and a few other guitar sims almost exclusively, Craigs CA-X  effects chains are really clever and opened up the programming potential of the Sonitus effects that I hadn't appreciated before. Pretty eye opening sort of clever.  Thanks Craig.

Thanks Rbh, that seemed to be the issue. Never use this feature so I had no idea. Hit a key w/o knowing it and your whole day is ruined.

Thanks, Jon Sasor and Noel!
 
The solution is to go into TH3 and click on the Auto tab. Then check the box "Use old set of automated parameters."
 

 
Re-start CbB, and the FX Chains have the correct assignment once more.
