I use a pedal that's attached to the output volume and set the minimum by setting the minimum cc value for that pedal at 115 for a trio and 110 (or less) when playing with a larger band.
I also use a command that sends a minimum volume cc of 115 or 110 when loading a preset.
With the Gordius, I can use a macro for this called "minimum volume".
When I need a boost for solo's, I send a command called "maximum volume" which is a cc of 127.
So far so good.
So, I only need to adjust a macro and the minimum cc value in the pedal to change the minimum volume of a preset and effectively setting the level for the solo boost.
I was looking for a way to do this on the Axe-Fx since I want something I can adjust quickly without having to go into the settings of the pedal.
This isn't done in a flash.
So I thought I'd use a volume block, connect the pedal to the level of that block, set the minimum level at -3dB and the maximum at 0dB et voila.
Same for the macro.
Make it a global block and I only had to adjust one value. Fast and easy or so I thought.
Not so.
Modifiers aren't copied in Global Blocks.
So it's back to square one.
Now if only I could set the minimum value of the output (cc# 40).
That would be easy.
Set the limit to -3dB for a trio. Send a CC value of 0 to get the -3dB attenuation (minimum level) and a value of 127 to get the maximum level.
If any of you have an alternative solution, I'll be glad to hear it.
BTW, I don't think there's any pedal that uses macro's like the Gordius so you can adjust all presets by only changing two parameters. So that makes it hard to find an alternative for that too.
