Hi everyone. New member here, and starting my membership with a question.
A friend has asked me to look at adding a level control to his Qtron. He wants to be able to adjust the level of the effected output only, leaving the bypassed output untouched. He wants this because he’s getting a massive difference in levels when he switches between straight and effected sounds.
Now, as at time of typing this, I haven’t had a play with the pedal. But I would have thought that the output from the Qtron should be adjustable to achieve unity gain, without the need for me to be adding a trim pot in the output stage?
It’s this model:
Hope someone can help.
Paul.
Many thanks for the quick response
Point taken about the peaks and resonance. Compression was an option I’d considered suggesting to him. But apparently the volume shift is enormous. The owner of the pedal is a bass player. I can see that using a compressor to try ironing out large shifts in volume could have an unwanted effect on his overall sound.
As I said in my post, I haven’t had chance to try the pedal for myself to see just how bad the problem is. I plan to do that tonight…
I should add that I have an original Bassballs, and I’ve never had any problems with the overall volume changing between “clean” and “effect”.
Paul.
