All overdrives WAY TO LOUD... how can I fix?

Gasp100 · Apr 13th 2013

I'm trying out some drives inside clean patches and the overdrive pedals are way too loud. Each and every one is at -5 (lowest it will go and still a bit too loud for my tastes). I have messed with distortion sense to -3, but anything lower is messing with my dedicated gain patches. HELP! I use a mix of profiles, some are a base clean that then I engage FX including overdrive. Others are dedicated patches for rock rhythm, lead, etc... I need both options.

I would set distortion sense back to zero.
If the perceived loudness is too high for distorted profiles ( i.e. when you switch on a distortion stomp) try increasing clean sense instead.

I have drives (boost or dist) as an option in almost all my clean patches and the change in volume is minimal (unless I want otherwise).... Can you send me one of those rigs to check out?

This is the classic applicatin for clean sense.
Turn it up until your clean sound matches the distorted sound.
