HX Stomp and Snapshot Volumes

[Stratojoe17]

Hi all :-) I am new here.

 

HX Stomp is my 1st Line 6 product and I am impressed!

 

I am using snapshots a lot and have problems adjusting the levels correctly.

 

I mean levels between the snapshots and between snapshot programs.

 

The goal is to have a more or less homogeneous set of levels so that everything is ready for the gig.

 

How do you do this ? Can you support ?

 

Thanks in advance 

Jo

You listen and adjust accordingly... either the channel volume in the amp block, or the output block at the end of the chain. There's no magic feature that'll balance volumes for you.

Do you mean when you change snapshots your levels are changing?

 

If so, your effects are not properly setup in regards to gain staging. Unless an effect has a job to make something louder (eg: a boost pedal) then engaging that effect should NOT make the preset louder, it should just add the effect. Almost every effect block added will have a level control on it. Use that to make sure the effect does not add/subtract any level when engaged. 

 

Once that is properly setup... any snapshot that simply turns blocks on/off should remain consistent in volume.  For times when you use a snapshot to increase the gain on an overdrive... you may also have to decrease the level in that snapshot to compensate. 

 

For balancing PRESETS I generally use one of the two methods outlined by @cruisinon2 above.

Thanks guys! That helps. I was just getting confused with all these new setting possibilities.
