I've been looking all over for a patch volume control that doesn't color the tone of the patch in my HD 500.  In my X3 Live, there was a very convenient volume control on the lower right hand corner of each patch that I could tweak to get each patch to the volume I wanted it.  I've been reading that in order to adjust the volume of my patches in the HD500, I need to adjust the CH Vol control on the amp.  However, my understanding is that the CH Vol on the amp is the amp volume itself and these amps react realistically to whether or not you crank them. 

So, if adjusting the CH Vol lower takes away a nice break up on a tube amp, and I want the break up, how do I adjust to the volume of the patch without messing up the tone? 

I guess what I'm asking is, on the X3 Live, I could adjust the volume of the amp AND the patch.  I would have to think you could do the same with the HD500?  I mean, if the only way to control the output of a patch is with the amp volume, how do you get a consistent volume level between patches without messing up your tone?  In HD Edit, perhaps I'm just missing the seperate amp volume control.

Thanks!
