Yes...GP...I have tried that parameter. I have to tell ya'll...I've been using preamps for 25 years. Yes...the 2101 is a bit different with it's multiple mixer options, but from The Chain Reaction I bought new in 1986-7, to the GSP-21 Pro, to the RP-2000 to Rocktron Voodu Valve to Vox Tonelab SE, and several others....I've ALWAYS found a "master volume". And I DEPEND on it with my life!
Now...after exploring on my own a bit, I have:
1) Selected a program (Distortion + delay)
2) Assigned the CC to Post EQ Master Volume distortion "on".
3) Calibrated the Pedal
4) Set min/max
And under this program...I still have volume in the minimal setting. With the above operations, I have reduced it...but it's still there...still audible as if on "1/2" or "1" on a typical guitar amp master volume. I would conclude that there is some sort of leakage or fault in the pedal or midi. . But under a different program...no fx....CC works perfectly...dead quiet to full volume.
Now I can only conclude that with effects, the signal is somehow being routed away from this "Master Volume" parameter. As you can see...it's very frustrating. I appreciate the "how to link a parameter to cc" message...but I am FAR beyond that. The volume link to CC is working.....and the best I can see at this point is it is working without effects...and not working so well with effects.
I should add...that even with the 2101 front control panel...the master volume does not make the volume go to dead quiet. Faulty 2101?
I will continue to beat this issue over the head.....but I need some REAL help here! There has to be something I am missing.
Signed,
Desperately seeking zero volume with FX.

Have you tried using the Volume at the end of the
analog section? I believe it's right after the analog EQ. The
advantage of using this Volume control is that it allows any digital effects
such as reverb or echo to trail away even though you've reduced the volume of
the signal being sent from the analog section to the digital
section.

Hey thanks! I have the manual.....my problem is I can't find
"MASTER VOLUME" to assign the pedal to. Some patches have a TON of
left/right mixes...but there's no clear cut "mater Volume parameter.
I did find one patch that has a complete volume control...but it's
post effects. I'll try to find what parameter they assigned...that will
work for non-FX patches.

Regarding using your expression pedal
to control Master Volume, here's a copy of a Help page from
MIDIWizard's Help Menu:
Assigning Control of a New Parameter to
an Expression Pedal
From your program’s title screen, use
the [Previous] or [Next] arrow buttons and the function keys [1], [2],
or [3] to select the parameter you wish to link to the expression
pedal. Next, press the [Link] button. At this point, your
2101’s LED displays the message “Select a Foot Switch”. Move
your expression pedal to link it to the selected parameter. Your
2101’s LED confirms the new link.
Press function key [2] and use the DATA
wheel to specify the parameter value corresponding to the full back
toe-up pedal position. Press function key [3] and use the DATA
wheel to specify the parameter value corresponding to the full forward
toe-down pedal position.
The default values are the parameter’s
minimum and maximum values respectively. If you want to invert
the effect of your expression pedal, set the “Min Value” greater than
the “Max Value”.
It’s usually difficult to know what
minimum and maximum values you should select at this point.
After playing with the expression pedal for a while, you’ll want to
change these settings. The help topic entitled “Changing Minimum
and Maximum Foot Switch or Expression Pedal Settings” describes how to
do this.
Press the [Link] button to exit the
link menu. Remember to press the [Store] button if you wish to
save your updated program.

Subject: [gsp-2101] master
volume with CC controller
Hello everyone. I'm wondering how to link each
patch master volume to the continuous controller. I've had
MANY outboard preamps...and whenever they have a CC
pedal...I've always found and used a patch master volume. In
other word..I always have a volume pedal to control my overall
volume....zero to max.
I can;t seem to find the 2101
master volume control. I haven't mastered it yet...and in fact
am confused by the large assortment of mixing options. Some
patches seem to have a volume link...but it's not totally zero
volume. Almost like a submix or uncalibrated pedal...even
though I have calibrated and set it to 0 min 15 max. There
SHOULD be a master volume control for all patches that take it
from dead nothing to full on,, no matter how many submixed
stereo mixes you can dream up.
Where are they? How
do I link the CC to the master volumes?
Thanks guys...I'm
befuddled. First preamp EVER that I can't figure this out.Message
