    I’ve wanted to post this question for a while now,
    but I’ve kept forgetting. My problem lies in finding
    basically equal volumes with the microsynth engaged
    or disengaged. My main bass is a music man bongo 4 hs.
    It has an 18v preamp in it so this bass is LOUD.
    Now, if I adjust the gain pot so that the microsynth
    is approximately the same volume as bypass the sound
    will actually cut out for the first second of each note.
    I can pull back the gain enough for this not to happen, but
    if I do this the microsynth becomes WAY too quiet.
    Any suggestions guys? Is a volume pedal my only saviour?
    Or is my pedal defective? Thanks to those who respond.

    PS. This may be the greatest thing I’ve ever purchased if this issue is resolved.

    a compressor would be what i’d try before a volume.
    otherwise a boss LS-2 to ‘preset’ your volumes to the ones you need [have it on A-B mode, microsynth in one of the effects loops, just a patch cable jumpering the other.]

    Got an optostomp before the microsynth.

    Figured it out.

    I just ran it through the effects loop, and now it sounds like a beast
