    I suggest to just keep it simple. You can always turn around and use the output knob on the unit. I use a volume block right after the Cab block. Get ll you patches and scenes leveled up. Assign a switch to a Filter block with a boost. From 2 to 6db. You can hit that anytime for a boost. But the...
