chadboyce Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Can somebody tell me how these work in conjunction with a saved patch? Lets say you have a saved patch with the Drive set to 5. If you then adjust it to 8 while playing, move to another patch and then back again, your sound should be at level 5 again but your knob will be at 8. At that point is the drive knob no longer of use or when you turn it, it somehow resets itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pianoguyy Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 where you have the knobs set do not matter. a saved patch will always recall to its last saved setting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chadboyce Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 But once you go to a saved patch you are able to modify that with the knobs, how can you do that if the knob is at 9 and you then go to a patch that has it set to 3. I'm guessing right when you turn the knob it must change the level to what you just turned the knob to? I guess I'm way over thinking this. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokenbones Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 You're right. If the knob is at 9 and your patch is at 3 and you go to change the knob (lower it) your patch will jump up to 9 as you start to turn it down. Just look at your setting on the patch before you start turning knobs. If you're changing things on the fly while playing it's probably best to listen to the level you have then crank the knob all the way left to start, then slowly bring it up to the right until you get the tone you want. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceatl Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 It does what you are thinking. There is a threshold voltage change that will cause the POD to react to the voltage change in the potentiometer. However, what makes this a little tricky is that the pot voltage is converted into digital amplitude values. sometimes subs under a stage can be enough g-shock to create a voltage jitter in the pot and it will change to it located value...bad pots will start sending all kinds of crazy values. As a matter of course, a lot of long time Line 6 users learned long ago it is generally a best practice to park the knobs at zero or full during performance. Jitter is not as bad as it once was...It is generally worse on the amplifiers where g-shock is more of a factor....good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
