I've come from a Pod XT where you can just set the volume % in Gearbox and it just reduces the volume by the difference but keeps the sound the same - no morphing of gains or effects . I like to be able to play at 80% with my full sound and just punch it to 100% for solos etc.
Was trying to figure out the same thing in HD500 Edit and was scratching my head why you can't set this % in the GUI editor - I've been doing it for years on the old editor.
Thanks for this post; I was able to get it to work if I move the vol pedal to the end of the post chain and reduce it on the hardware as phil_m suggested.
The point of my post is will Line 6 put this feature back into the HD Edit software? Seems like a glaring oversight that it's not there.
