2 almost identical patches, different output volumes?

What the heck would cause this?! I saved preset as to another number, every setting is literally exactly the same.... the only difference is one has a chorus block and one has a rotary block. both are off. one output reads about 3-4 and the other is about 5-6. anybody???
