HX Effects - Fastest Way To Drive Level

[gtrgriff3]

With my HX Effects when I use drive pedals into a clean amp there can occasionally be some volume jump issues...

 

Now, I know, I can use the volume pedal that I have hooked up to handle this, but with a regular drive pedal I simply bend over, lower the level control slightly, and go on with my gig, never having to think about it again.

 

I'd like to be able to do the same thing with the HX Effects, but I can't seem to figure out a fast way to get to the level control of the drive block and manipulate it slightly, then re-save the preset, and resume playing.

 

Is there some shortcut I can somehow setup that will make it so that one of the main knobs will adjust a certain parameter or something simple like that?

 

Thanks for any suggestions you may have... I have a fly gig coming up where I just want to take the HX Effects and my little DSM Simplifier and no pedals, if possible. The last time I tried that the volume inconsistencies were too much and I added drive pedals into the loops and have used them ever since. But I need to solve this problem once and for all.

It starts by getting everything as close as possible (in level) before going to a gig... but when needed it's not that hard to do what you want. 

1. Save the preset with the overdrive/distortion in focus.... (eg: highlighted). 
2. When you are on the gig... if the drive is too high, you can bend over and adjust it immediately... then press the save button. The only additional step from pedals is the pressing of the save button and possibly (with some effects) pressing a page over button. 

Refresh yourself on the touch capacitance features of the HX Effects... .this bring effects into focus very quickly so you can adjust them on the fly. Then it's just a matter of pressing "save".
