Volume troubles

Quad Cortex
1

Can anyone help or make any suggestions please…

I am new to Quad - I have a Mesa Boogie MKV:35 and am using the 4 cable method with the Quad as “effects only”. I have tried all sorts to achieve an acceptable volume on the amp but – with the master volumes set as low as they will go, it is still too loud – I am unable to control it and I read that the master volume on the quad should be set at 100%. The only way I can achieve a sensible level is to set the Quad master at 50% or thereabouts. What should I try first?

Thanks in anticipation

This makes sense since the QC boosts the signal about 6db from its own effects loop. I would suggest just adding a gain block to your chain and reducing the volume output there. That way you don’t ever need to mess with the knob

Thank you - I will take that and hopefully cure the issue.
