Stomp Mode assignment option?

Hey, I'm at work when the thought came to me so I don't have my unit in front to know if I can do this. 

 

Usually work in snapshot mode, and am beginning to setup a switch in Stomp Mode that will be a momentary lead boost (while depressed, off when let go) for those songs that need that.  But its opening up an option I used to use in my Fractal often that I didn't think about. 

 

 

I used to be able to attach 2 IA switches on my Ground Control Pro that would increase/decrease the patch volume when pushed and automatically save that setting.  So you could adjust on the fly if something was louder/softer than what you assumed it would be.

 

 

I generally try to level my patches as best I can, but there always seems to be a few that slip through and this was a great way to catch it on the fly. 

 

 

Anyone know if this feature would be there for me in Stomp mode?  I know I can generally just reach down and adjust the Ch. Volume of the amp block (which is where I save my presets to show when I recall them), however, that is tough when I have 3 or 4 snapshots where the Ch. Volume varies, would need an overall preset volume.  I can then go back through patches that have had that overall volume adjusted and fine adjust the Ch. Volumes across the Snapshots to bring them all down.

I don't believe you can do what you describe. You can assign the stomps to actually toggle between two different levels, but you can't have one bring the volume up and another bring the volume down in increments. It sounds like that's what you would want and you can't as far as I know anyway. Of course you could assign the level to an expression pedal. Don't take this as gospel though.

Remember, there's always Pedal Edit mode which allows to adjust any parameter in any of the blocks with your feet. So you could actually go to the amp block and adjust the channel volume, and you can actually re-save the patch from Pedal Edit mode, too.

Yeah, I don't really do much for volume use with expression pedals, unless the song requires it.  But it was a nice way of leveling patches in a live environment and then going back to adjust them.  Really made it streamlined. 

 

 

try presets live, make adjustments on songs

adjust amp ch volumes to match adjustment to preset volume variance

try presets live again, rinse and repeat

 

 

It worked well, if I adjusted the preset volume +/- 3db, I would adjust the amp ch. volume by that amount and reset the preset volume back to 0 to help with the next round.  Really helped hear patches in a full band and be able to adjust live.
