willyjacksonjs22 Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 I never thought about it til today, l was thinking about real amps ( never own one to experiment) not having that master volume cranked all the way. so anyway on Helix Native i lowered the master volume on a fender model to 5 and max the gain just a little and now my edge of break up tones sound better. Does this mean that the master volume on any model in the helix emulates a real master volume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schmalle Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Authenticity - a lot of those amps don't have master volume in real life. If you would solder one in and crank it it wouldn't do anything to the signal - it's a variable resistor set to zero Ohm resistance. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
