The thread about volume increment & decrement on the discussion list got me thinking. Wouldn’t it be nice to have an automatic way of boosting your output volume continuously over a 3-4 hour gig across all presets and scenes? Program in an overall 12-24dB boost (depending on the band) that begins about 5 minutes after sound check is over. Just starts bumping the volume 1dB at a time without you even thinking about it. All automated and effortless.
That way we don’t have to keep en eye on the 2nd guitar player, watching for him to sneak back to his amp and turn the MV up every third or fourth song because it “sounds better that way” and “it’s the only way to get that tone” and “I can’t hear myself” in spite of the fact that his amp is already so loud the paint is peeling off the stage directly in front of it.
Alternatively, we could use one of the inputs, feed his amp mic through it, and control the polarity and volume of the signal into the monitors and mains so that it cancels out the onslaught from his 100W Marsnall (sic) or Fender Hot Rod Deluxe to some extent.
