JCM800 real amp controls vs Helix Brit 2204 controls

[Thienpont]

I'm trying to understand amp controls of Helix model and how they relate to the real amp. Presence, Bass, Mid, Treble are easy as those map 1 to 1 with the amp naming.

 

I struggle with the following 3 settings: "drive", "ch volume" and "master volume" on Helix.

 

JCM800 (according Marshall webpage) has 2 additional settings

1. Master volume

2. Pre-amp volume

 

My question is what corresponds to "Master volume" and "pre-amp volume" on Helix?

 

Thanks for helping a newbie:-)

I would suspect pre-amp volume would relate to drive and master volume would relate 1 to 1 to master volume.  CH volume is purely volume or pure signal level which doesn't affect tone in any way.
