There has always been one unique volume parameter in the Stack Section. In the beginning it used to reside in the Cabinet Module. We migrated this same parameter into the Amp Module, when we introduced Direct Profiles, which have no cabinet by definition. We wanted to make this parameter available for every type of Profile. The values were maintained so that there were no sound nor volume changes affecting any Rigs. So, just one parameter which moved from one Module into another one.
If you want to balance the volume of FOH with cabinet simulation and physical guitar cabinet on stage without cabinet simulation you should do that using the output volumes, which are global by definition. Adjust the level of Main Output Volume versus Monitor Output Volume once. No need to adjust and store every Rig. This is what output volumes are here for.
Am I seriously the only one who has encountered this problem?
Try to follow me.
I’ve made 4 studio profiles and 4 direct profiles of my 4 basic sounds in my normal tube amp rig.
I’ve done all profiling with my original sound in balance and on the overall level that I would normally play live.
Then I’ve merged the profiles so that I’m left with 4 merged profiles.
Then I’ve set clean sens, using my headphones, to a level where my clean and drive sounds are in balance.
This part works perfectly.
Then I connect my guitar cabinet and turn off the cabinet simulation just for the “Monitor” output.
When I listen through the same presets again, this time through my guitar cabinet and WITHOUT cabinet simulation, the clean preset is much louder than the drive presets.
Any level change I do within the preset/performance slot will affect all outputs and thus not helping me.
Any level change I do in the output section will affect all the presets/performance slots and thus not helping me.
A volume parameter in the “Cab” module will affect only the outputs using the cabinet simulation and also only that specific preset.
Thus solving my problem.
