Volume Pedal Minimum Settings?

[FeroxEo]

Hey guys,

 

I recently got my new Pod Go and I am very impressed with it. 
But right now I am wondering, how it is possible to set the onboard volume pedal to a defined minimum volume level in the „zero position“. 
I could only find instructions for this on a helix. 
Can anyone help me?
 

thank you very much!

Hey there,

 

To do this, select either the Volume or Wah effect > Then press both Page left/Page Right > Press Knob 1 under the screen labeled 'Bypass/control' > Use Knob 1 to select 'Position'. Now use Knobs 3 and 4 to set the the Min and Max value for the heel and toe positions. 

 

Additionally to using the expression pedal for only Wah or Volume, the expression pedal can also be used to control a parameter of any effect. Using the knobs beneath the screen, press and hold down on the parameter you wish to control for a few seconds, press 'Learn' > then move the expression pedal to assign > then you have the ability to set min and max values. Now the expression pedal can be used to control that parameter. 

 

Thanks!!

I followed the instructions in the previous post as well as the owners manual instructions on page 28 for setting minimum and maximum volume. I am using a Line 6 EX1 that I have used for several years on my POD HD500X in which I setup these parameters successfully. I must be missing something in the process. Here is what I have going on. The POD Go display shows the volume increasing in the range I programmed (30-100%) as I press the pedal but the volume increases instantly to 100% as I press the pedal down even when the read out shows the progression from the minimum to the maximum. Also, when I change between patches there is no minimum volume present until I move the pedal down then back up even though the readout shows the minimum volume that I have programmed into the POD Go. Any ideas?

You need to think about how you want to use the expression pedal physically. Let's say you want the 30% to 100% range BUT you want the patch to OPEN at 30% when your Volume pedal is flat ie you want the lower volume but at the (normally) maximum pedal position.  If you set the expression pedal in the way you've done (toe max, heel minimum) you've told it to be at 100% in the toe down position and 30% in heel down.  Thus the volume pedal will always be in the max 100% position when you open it because the pedal starts off being set 'flat' and only as you rock back will the volume drop - because that's what you've told it to do. But you want the opposite.   So, think in reverse and try it the other way - set the toe to minimum and the heel to max. So when you open the patch and the expression pedal is flat ie toe down, it will open at 30% and then as you rock back the volume will increase to 100% in the maximum heel down position.

I found that I needed to also change the global settings for the minimum volume setting to work.

For some reason, out of the box, my PodGo Volume pedal is set to a Minimum value of 42%.

I've tried many many times to set my Volume pedal, EXP 2, with a Minimum of Zero -- using both the Editor and the On-device instructions.

I go through the procedure, and no matter what, the once I swing the pedal, it resolves to minimum of 42%.

I am starting to wonder if this is a hardware issue on my unit???  But I've got to think these values are pure software.

Any ideas?

A pretty good idea, if the pedal is used like a 2-position switch of sorts. always starting with the value of the toe position itt avoids the 100% roaring.

But you still have to make a full movement to heel and back until the pedal is re-synced to the stored limits of the called Set.

I myself often use the (integrated) pedal at the end of the signal chain to be able to instantly correct my guitar's presence within the overall volume of the band, and thatswhy the pedal is most often in an intermediate position between toe and heel.

The effect described by Lightningjohn occurs every time after tapping on the next preset or something like that.

You have to keep the instrument muted or something and move the pedal until it re-syncs, otherwise it would start out with a "roar" or "whisper" depending on the method used. For me an unpleasant sound and playing break.

 

 

As a first aid (in german better called a "crutch") I use an additional stink normal volume pedal between the POD and the amp to catch this problem. Not perfect but it works.  Of course, this counteracts the goal that the POD GO should actually bring me: Less "Gerümpel" in front of my feet on the stage floor.

For me its a software bug, (and with a little friendly wink to the Line 6 team) the actual position of the pedal in relation to the limits stored in Preset or so should be adopted immediately with every change, otherwise very unpleasant effects (e.g. B. extreme volume changes) can occur.

Maybe also, I'm just doing something wrong, then please feel free to correct me and show me how to do it better.
