PeterHamm Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Sounds like the solution is to jam that output block up. PLEASE get back to us and tell us how that works, too. But the Global EQ does, I think, also have some volume adjustment. If you have a lot of patches, you could do it there to save the time.

cruisinon2 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 ...or you can try the optical tremolo at the end of your chain. I hear great things about that. lol... best thread ever. "Optitremgate" 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kylotan Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 I asked how much attenuation the volume dial gives; well, my experiments show, roughly: full / 5 o clock = 0dB, i.e 100% volume 3 o clock = -3dB 2 o clock = -4.5dB 1 o clock = -6dB 12 o clock = -9dB 11 o clock = -18dB 10 o clock = -20dB 9 o clock = -40dB This is interesting because it shows that you get more resolution on the volume dial with it turned down than with it turned up. So, what I will probably do, next time I take the Helix out, is set the output block to +9dB, and set my volume dial at about 12 o clock. This should mean I'm sending broadly the right amount of signal to my amp, the same as if I had the output block at unity and the volume dial at full, but I will have some scope to use the volume dial to tweak the level. (And hey, for sh*ts and giggles I added the Optical Trem in as well. It does virtually nothing. Possibly a slight scooping of the mids. Don't waste your time.)

cruisinon2 Posted August 23, 2017 Share Posted August 23, 2017 Actually, I have it on the best of authority that this little known optical trem function is actually an Easter egg put there by L6 developers...sure, you're all laughing now, but that guy wins a lifetime supply of Spam, and a nice set of imported French toenail clippers...;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
