Kilrahi Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I don't believe that that amp has a specific forum, but you can ask here and see if any of us know the answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMorecroft Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 OK. When i switch channels (clean, crunch, metal, insane) the volume is very loud and ignores what is set on the volume settings. I have to dive for the volume control to turn it down - a little twitch of the channel vol knob tens to sort it. How do i stop this happening? I can only assume these are stored settings. I bought the amp for night time practice cos it has a headphone socket and so use headphones and when you switch channels it is seriously dangerously loud.

Are you saying it's dangerously loud for a second but if you tap the volume nob it resets to a different loudness? I want to make sure I understand the problem, because it's probably true that each preset channel has its own volume standard volume. So if the volume knob was at 9 o'clock on clean and you switched to insane at 9 o'clock it would likely sound louder on insane than clean. If you're saying it's only TEMPORARILY louder and a slight jiggle of the volume knob resets it . . . well that's a bit weirder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonMorecroft Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 It is permanently louder until i touch a control. I think i may have cracked it though. These are all presets - some a reasonably loud and some are insanely loud (excuse the pun). I have now set them to the volume I want (all the same initially) and saved each one. From a product point of view when using headphones when switching channels when on default presets is actually dangerous and could create a permanent hearing issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good point about the volume output potentially blowing your ears away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
