Pod Hd 500x Amp´s Volume Issues

[Giaccaglia]

I guys, I´m a Pod HD 500X user and I´ve created a great high gain tone by mixing Solo 100 and the Dual Rectifier, both having volume set at 50.

Now I´m traing to do some clean tones using older amps for a more classic or british tone but I´m getting huges diferences betwen these two tones, as volume regards.

I guess I read some where that that was made on propouse to comply with the real tone that the Pod is emulating. Ej A real dual rectifier sounds much louder than a real AC 15.

 

Now, how can I get these issue resolved? Do I need to set my drive tone with lower volume or there´s some thing else I´m missing?

 

Thanks to all!!!

just put a compressor after the mixer.the vetta juice will do the work without color :)

There are two places you can adjust the volume without affecting the tone (mostly). The first one is the volume control in the amp model itself. You can consider this the volume for the amp/cab block. It doesn't change anything associated with the amp modeling. It simply changes the volume coming out of that block. There is a chance, however, that if you have the channel volume up too high and certain effects after the amp block, that you can clip them. The other way to adjust the volume is using the mixer block. You can boost or cut the volume of each tone path by +/- 12db here. This is probably the easiest way to get balance in a dual tone.

I´ll keep that in mind, the mixer block thing, but I´ll go first with the compressor advise by arislaf since I´m not using dual tone, I made one tone (patch)Ej1A with solo 100 and the dual and then a was trying to make on a diferent patch Ej1B with the clean amp.

Yet, what yuo´re telling me is a good one, that will work for other proyect I have.

 

Thanks lot!!! ;)
