Hey guys, quick question. Does your pedal get disgustingly loud? Like almost too fucking loud.

yeah......this pedal is very loud without the possibility of lowering it...at least with the knobs.....don't know if there is a mod that can attenuate the volume.

Kind of but from the demos I've seen adjusting them shouldn't make the volume so fucking intense. That's why I was asking. When I move my octave knob to, let's say 5 o'clock, it's ear blistering loud. Like WAY too fucking loud to even use. Same goes with the dirt knob. So I keep them both on lower settings. Surely there is a way to dial it down a bit.

5 o'clock would be full volume :?: ...no wonder it's so loud

Yes but I thought that it change the octave, not the volume. Unless I'm misunderstood the use of the knob?

like in this demo

I can't turn mine like this or else it just insanely loud. Maybe it's just supposed to be. lol

The gain is set, so the dirt knob is just volume, and the octave is set also so the knob just changes volume.

I thought...
