Channel volumes

[trolley]

Apologies if this has already been asked, but I couldn't find an answer.

I'd like to use the Roland amp as the basis for clean sounds (as some factory presets already do).

But the output level is really low even though the channel volume is on 10. It sounds really quiet compared to almost all the other presets.

Is there a way to boost it? Or do you have to put the master output up to a reasonable level & then dial back the other amp models to suit?

I'm not gigging with the Helix yet but I'll need to sort this before I do.

I'm using the Helix rack, latest firmware. Mostly I'm outputting to a FocusRite Scarlett & listening to that with headphones, but I also tried it through my Roadster (used as a power amp) and through my Logitech amp & speakers

You can increase the level of the Output block in your signal chain. That only affects the specific preset.

Or drop a gain block directly after the amp.

in addition to whats mentioned above, the level parameter on the Cab block/page will help balance volume without affecting tone.

 

Also worth mentioning that the JC120 model is modeled after a solid state amplifier, so the Master Volume doesn't effect tone and breakup the way it does on other amp models.  You have to push it pretty hard (8-10) to notice a difference in tone.

Thanks, I'll look at all of those.

The channel volume is on 10 from memory, which is how it came preset.
