M13 Modulation Effects Volume Issue

Let me start by saying I am using the M13 in Bass and I absolutely love it.  The one major problem I have however is that there is no volume control for most of the modulation effects.  I understand that due to the nature of modulation effects there are "perceived" and realized volume drops, however with EVERYTHING that the M13 is capable of, I fail to believe that a simple volume setting can't be incorporated into these effects.

One example of this is using the voicing filters for WAH and Filtering effects.          

Are there any plans to rectify this with software patches?

    RE: M13 Modulation Effects Volume Issue

    One aspect of amp and effect modeling is that it takes the characteristics of the actual devices and puts every nuance into our models of the devices.  Some of the real devices actually do increase or decrease the volume of your guitar signal.  Also, volume parameters are not a part of many of these original devices as well.

       

      I would suggest submitting a feature request for your concerns at the following link:

      Re: RE: M13 Modulation Effects Volume Issue

      I understand that the characteristics are supposed to be accurately "modelled" after the original effects, however most of the long time complaints about certain effects are things such as volume drop.  It seems like a simple fix and something that MOST muscicians would want.

       

      Just because the original effect doesn't have a volume control doesn't mean that one can't easily be added, many popular "modern" effects are incorporating this into their current effects design easily (One main example is MXR incorporating this into almost ALL of their new modulation effects)

       

      I will certainly use the product feedback link above....Just seems like in an effect unit that can model just about anything and then layer effects that it would be simple to "link" a volume boost modeller to any other model.
