Using the FX3 and FX4 effects processors on an A&H qu-16 console

How to setup the FX3 and FX4 effects on the A&H QU-16. The setup of these effects is a little different, but the results are actually pretty good. In this video, I reference the order of the methods (in my professional opinion) which should be used.

I have been using a QU-16 for many years but have never used FX3 or FX4. This was really useful to see the possibilities. Thank you for taking the time to do this 👍

A few years back, I tried using FX 3 and routing it to one vocal channel as an insert. The effect I was using was the ADT Doubler, as one particular song the band sang was recorded that way back in the 60s. Unfortunately, even with FX 3 muted when not in use, there was crosstalk between the channels, resulting in a metallic sound being heard when speaking. This wasn't very pleasant, so I decided to scrap that idea and just stick with using reverb. I may revisit that and try both the channel and mix return to see if that stops any crosstalk from happening.

Great Vid!
So I need a new Mixer asap and I am Interested in both Allen&Heath QU16 and CQ18T for I have heard great things about the effects. I play in a 3 piece band (2 acoustic guitars, Elec bass, 2 mics lead/harmony) and occasionally drums. What do you recommend me investing in, in 2024?
I guess my concern is if the QU is worth it seeing as it is dated. Thanks for your time!
