aggropopper Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Hi, when I put the expression pedal in 0 position, there is always still some sound coming through...the volume is not really 0. The pedal is asigned to controll the volume of the amp. Starting with Volume 0, of course. I already did a pedal calibration. Everything seems to be okay with the pedal there. I just cannot find the reason :( Do you have any ideas? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 put the pedal somewhere else in the chain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewolf48 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Are you sure that it is controlling the Amp Volume not the Gain? On some high gain amps the Gain control even when on zero still allows some signal through. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggropopper Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 put the pedal somewhere else in the chain? Using the expression pedal with/as a volume pedal effect works. But I want the expression pedal to controll the amp volume. Are you sure that it is controlling the Amp Volume not the Gain? On some high gain amps the Gain control even when on zero still allows some signal through. I am sure. But I think it is really a problem with the amp. Because even when I turn down the amp volume by using the volume knob (amp controlls) there is signal coming through. Maybe this is just normal!?

duncann Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Do you have the amp on one of the paths, A or B, with an empty amp on the other, opposite path? If so, it's possible the unwanted signal is coming from the path with the empty amp, depending on the input source settings, pre-amp effects, and/or mixer settings. So how does your signal chain look? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So how does your signal chain look? Just one amp (treadplate preamp), no pedals, nothing else. I did not add a second amp or amp loop. So path is named A and there are no controls available for B. Mixer is in standard setting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Since there is still some signal getting through when you use the amp's volume control, I think the pedal assignment and the pedal itself are working properly. The modeling for that particular amp allows some signal to get through even at minimum volume. Either that's how the physical amp behaves, and the modeling correctly reflects it, or there is a problem with the modeling. In either case it's out of your control. Perhaps other regular users of the treadplate model can try to replicate your experience, and report back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duncann Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Ok. This is interesting. It's not just the treadplate. I tried most of the amps, and they all exhibit this behavior to some degree. What I did was crank the mixer levels and centered the mixer pans. Left everything else at default. Then I just kept trying different amps and setting the ch vol to zero. In most cases, the signal is so weak (somewhere around -54dB to -42dB, and remember the mixer is cranked too) that it might as well not be there. I should also say I used headphones. It is also possible to get no bleeding signal by either turning the gain and ch vol to zero, turning the master dep and ch vol to zero, or turning the gain, ch vol and master dep to zero. The pre versions of the amps are also like this. As silverhead says, it's out of your control. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggropopper Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 So that's just the way it is. Thanks to all of you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
