Master attenuation?

Hi all,

Now that I'm driving a guitar cab with the Camplifier Studio, I'm wondering whether there's a way to attenuate the range of the Master Volume control when it's mapped to the Monitor Output. Right now, if I'm practicing at home, volume goes from 0 to too loud in the span of a couple of degrees. With the FR set up I could just turn the monitors/powered speakers down to suit the room, but the Camplifier + 1x12 is biting my head off. Is there any way to adjust this, i.e. a "Master Master"? Or do I have to just keep the Direct Out really low and ride the per-rig Volume control (not great when you're browsing between many rigs.)

Thanks.

So is that a "no"?

Is is it safe to assume (I'll have to test myself of course) that rolling down bass mid treble in the master section - even in equal measures - will mess with overall eq/ timbre?

Thanks for the reply, Zappledan. Yes, you can adjust the monitor output level in the Master section, but if you also gang the Master volume knob to the the monitor level, it's immediately overridden when you turn that knob. What I'm looking for is a "Master Master" that sets the maximum output to Monitor out for the full range of the master volume knob. Does that make sense?

That was how I expected it to work, too, but unless I'm missing something, linking the master knob just makes it control that very same setting, i.e. Monitor output level.

Thank you, Christoph! But it looks like that parameter is only applicable to PowerHeads and PowerRacks, per the following quote:

Profilers with built-in power amplifier have an additional loudspeaker output and show one additional page of parameters in the OUTPUT Section.

Is there anything similar for those using aftermarket power amps (that don't have independent trim pots)?

I imagine it is specific to the factory powered units, since it modifies the levels at the speaker outputs - not main/ monitor out. What I'm proposing as a feature request, I guess, is something similar that acts on Main/Monitor. It would sit alongside the corresponding master EQ controls in the Master section.

Piloltd, not sure I follow. Are you recommending I put an EQ effect in a post-amp effect block, lock it, and use its level setting? I guess that'll work, although it does eat up an effects slot. Good enough for now, though - thanks!

Thanks, Gianfranco. A trim pot is an option on higher-end Camplifiers, but the Camplifier Studio runs at full wattage at all times. (It doesn't even have a power switch.)

I never expected a 25W Class D power amp to be too loud LOL. I must be getting old.

And no, you're not getting old... it's that they wash our brain since kids with wattage, wattage, wattage...

This is absolutely true. And also, I'm getting old.
