M4 - Module Volume vs. Master Volume

[Zaphod B]

My VX module is the lowest-output of the four (the others are a D/D, SL2X, and COD).

To keep a standard point of reference I keep the volume of the VX A channel maxed and reference everything else to it.

This results in my having to keep the M4 master volume dialed back to about 10:00 (maybe 3.5 - 4 out of 10 if there were a scale on it) lest I overdrive the Eventide FX pedals I have in the loop between the M4 and the power amp.

Sound about right? Would it be better to drop the volume of the VX A channel - does maxing a channel volume cause any sonic issues that you guys are aware of?

I think you have the best way of doing it.

What is your gain setting on VX A?

You're good. That's how I run mine too.

Same here, although I don't have VX A maxed completely.

I do the same with my BMAN Ch.1 with its gain around 9oclock and vol maxed. MV is usually around 10-12oclock depending on how much souped up the drummer is.

Thanks, guys.
