u could try setting u're overall volume level of that particular mod by ear....sometimes when it shows the value of the volume level of the mod might be the same as the next one but the other mod might have diff settings so it won't 'sound' at the same volume...

i've tried to set my own ... but cannot ... like when i'm on 'distortion' then wanna change back to alittle softer cleansound, the vol will b quite high on the cleansound ... then i wud have to step on the pedal up/down/up ... to get the vol i want ...
u mean u guys dont have sudden vol increase when changing the mod ? hmm u guys using the 'original' setting ?

Hi,
I've been using it for close to 3 months. Imho, i tink u might haf set e Dist level too high. Level can be set low, its e gain that affects e intensity of the distortion. Maybe u can try to lower e Dist level to that of the clean sound. Btw, u using bypass for ur clean sound or u using a Fdr clean?
If its the former, u might need to adjust your amp volume too. If its the latter, e efx level muz be set to exactly e same level as ur Dist.
Hope my limited knowledge can help u in ur usage. Thanks.
Regards,
Gerald

Eek ! think i really lost here ... look thru the menu but still cannot understand it ... hope u guys can help explain abit more ... thanks in advance
1) the gain - izzit the 1 just next to the on/off switch ? or the 1 for the mod setting ? or the 1 for the equlizer ?
2) do u guys change or play with that top left hand corner nob ? (which say ZOOM in the center) which 1 u guys normally use ?
3) i've reset a couple of the sounds ... increase the gain in to setting ... but still cannot seem to balance out when i change the mod ...
4) ok, my U.0 setting = (1) Allclean (2) MS OLD (3) MP1 ... when i play MS OLD with pedal pressed, it has slight distortion, when i change to MP1, the vol damn loud ... but when i change back to MS OLD, it's back to nomal.
If i stay on MP1, i need to step up/down then slowly increase the pedal. same goes with Allclean.
izzit that i still need to fine tune and balance out the vol for each individual ? how do i do it ?
anyway to make it sounds more bassy ? or izzit it's my guitar ? mine is a not known brand guitar ... maybe later i try to record some sound and postit ...
think i've asked too much ... thanks for the time guys ... \m/

Haha
e difference between clean & distortion is e extra pre-gain section. u cant exactly get a balance volume output for both clean & distortion, onli can make it close. dun be lazy w ur fingers. if u need to adjust ur volume, do so. i also sometimes mus tone down cuz too loud or something. its normal.

:lol: it's not that i'm lazy or what ...
i was like playing this song "love of a lifetime" intro and verses were clean ... just pure plucking .. so when comes to the chorus part, there's this slight distortion strumming ... u know .. ok :lol:
so i was playing this intro and verses with clean (mid pedal) up till this end verse, (chorus part) i step on the 2nd mod and it was like LOUD (even when the pedal was depress down) ... i wud have to step up/down and mid range again, to get that vol bal.
i mean, cant this all b preset ? or izzit that we all need to get use to that pedal stepping to control the vol. ??
u guys have better ideas ? i read it somewhere that the manual DO tell us something ... like those wave form ... but i just cant understand that ... :lol:
