   New user, Zoom MS-50G. Trying to do as much as I can via effect managers on my PC. I notice there's browser-based and locally installed managers and they all seem good especiallyToneLib.
   Question: There's an effect called NYCMuff. It seems greyed-out on some managers and when I select it for a patch it cannot be used. Many other effects are the same situation. Can anyone explain?

   Some effects are limited depending on the patch structure or DSP resources available on the MS-50G. If an effect like NYC Muff is greyed out, it usually means it can’t be combined with the current effects already in the chain, or there isn’t enough processing power left.
   
   Try starting with an empty patch and add the NYC Muff first to see if it becomes available. I’ve noticed some amp sims and heavier effects can block other effects from being loaded.
