efwfew Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Hey, I was just wondering what's the correct process with the volume knob and going into a mixingboard and PA system, using the pod go as my full rig (amp + cab + pedals) Reading the documentation, it seems that if I want to send the full signal to the mixing board (and control my overall volume through the mixing board) I need to set my volume knob to main out in the setting, and keep the actual knob at 100% on the pod go. Is it correct ? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverhead Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 Theoretically yes. Setting the volume knob at 100% delivers something called ‘unity gain’ to the mixer. This means there will be little need to use the Input Trim on the mixer channel to increase the incoming signal strength. Having to use a high Trim level at the mixer input can introduce noise into the signal. So unity gain provides the best signal-to-noise ratio. However, I find that you can still get a very clean signal with the Volume knob at much lower settings. Someone with better ears than me might notice some noise and a dirtier signal as the Volume knob setting decreases. I never have. Obviously the lower the Volume knob setting the greater the chance that unwanted noise will be audible. At low levels you will hear noise. Don’t be afraid to experiment and don’t feel tied to the maximum setting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theElevators Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 Correct way is to have your output be fixed at MIC level. Or whatever has the lowest signal level. Leave it at that, and have the volume knob only control your personal monitor mix, which is "amp out". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
