bruiseofsociety 0 Posted December 8, 2013 It used to be, that I could change which stage the volume control actually effect, pre and post stages. pre would control volume, post would control tone, this was with a spider valve that actually did this with, is this possible with the pod hd pro?

radatats 921 Posted December 8, 2013 My experience is that it does the same thing in either place. I know you would think logically that it would affect gain staging early in the signal path but that is not what I see... It is just volume in either place... I generally just map the Channel Volume to the expression pedal instead and save an FX block and some DSP... :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ftuller 12 Posted December 14, 2013 I use the volume pedal at the beginning of the chain and in that spot it reduces the gain a little bit in addition to reducing volume. I have it assigned to exp-1 and use it for swells (the slight gain redcution/increase makes for a nice swell tone). I also use exp-1 volume pedal when I want to quickly cut off the volume. Exp-2 is assigned to amp volume (max 40, min 35) and I use that when I want a slight drop in volume but no change in tone. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
