No, it changes the level of the Scene you're currently on by 1db... it doesn't affect any of the other controls or levels. So if your preset is at a good level but you need more lead boost on say Scene 2, you can boost it that way. If you don't use Scenes it'll just boost the preset in whatever state it's in - but note that it also saves, so it will save with whatever fx you have on/off at that moment.What the heck volume does that control? I know its controller 35-36, does that bypass the output volume knobs on the front of the unit?
Back to OT, I also have a smaller set of core tones that I use for the majority of songs - a mid-gain Vox, heavy Recto, and a pretty crunchy 800 cover about 2/3 of our songs. Then I have specific presets for songs that either have a unique sound or need special fx.
Remember that you can also take the same preset and copy it to different locations so you have the same core tone, but different fx or secondary tones for various parts - this way you still have that same consistent tone across more songs.
