So what you are saying is if you turn the Overdrive to zero you are surprised that you get no volume. What do you think should happen?
It's like a second volume control but in the middle of the preamp circuit. The two preamp gain controls let you control where in the circuit the bulk of the distortion is happening and you can get different shades of grit depending on how the two controls are set. Turning either one all the way down will give you no signal to the rest of the circuit.
I was trying to clean up the tone so I was expecting it to be a clean sound with no overdrive. Similar to the Drive parameter on the distortion effect. There are many parameters that when set to zero still yield sound, so I don't believe it was that ridiculous of an assumption?
I don't remember if this is a new parameter, but when I turn it all the way down to clean up the amp, the volume goes to zero. Is this intentional?
It's all good. I will admit that I appreciate the people who actually answered the question rather than making me feel like an idiot; a little taken aback that a representative from the company (or so I assume) would be somewhat less than courteous, but I get it that he probably has to answer a lot of complaints that are from people just wanting to complain. In retrospect, a little more research on my part and I could have found the answer myself, so in that respect shame on me.

Couldn't agree more, here. You expect random people posting anonymously on forums to be a bit douchey. It's just how message boards go. But Fractal shouldn't have responded with sarcasm. At the very least, they should have just refrained from commenting at all. You *did* pay $2,500 to play in this particular sandbox. Customers shouldn't have to take shit from companies they support. Not cool, Fractal.
I prefer that to companies not answering...
Am I the only one who thinks this is being blown out of proportion? :-|
