Hi! I'm new to the Poly pedal, and I was wondering how you prefer to get the line level volume of your instruments consistent in relation to the bypass volume and when you turn the pedal on. I have the Strymon Iridium at the end of my chain, and I'm wondering if just inserting a Eq module and adjusting that gain level is the only way to go about it. Any help or insight is appreciated!
Welcome aboard! I would say there are several strategies for sure. I will lay out 2 situations and feel free to ask anything or tell me more about your preferred setup to better help here. 1. I would in the patch itself tend to use VCA’s in my signal paths to best set levels in advance. Think of this logic as when you set the level control on a standard Boss pedal, except you can save the level in your patch. This is how I treat many of my synth patches for instance. 2. I will be getting a Hector soon and relocating Beebo to my pedalboard again. I plan to run it with my HX Stomp in the FX loop. I can control levels and parallel/series signal paths that way as well. My only reason for saying try the VCA idea instead of the EQ is that you may color the sound that way differently. Worth trying both ways, there is merit also in having the EQ available for tweaking. Also, you may want to adjust the input gain in global settings in Beebo if level in is too hot.
it's a fantastic setup, compliments very good chioce!!!!
Thank you very much!

@@pedaleffected thank you for the tips! I will definitely put them to use.
