Amp with digital volume control?

[Noshtero]

What about a simple volume pedal in the effects loop, or a buffered volume pedal at the input, or a little adjustment on your bass itself? Of course, all of these will affect the level of the bass in the PA unless you take your send to the PA pre volume pedal (easiest using it in the effects look and using the on-board DI in pre eq mode (which is usually pre-fx loop).

I don't see how being digital makes any difference or has any benefit.

[correct for auto-correction error]

Digital was the wrong word. I meant numerical volume level on little digital screen, versus dials.

I think this does it though. Can’t believe I didn’t think of this. To those that said use the onboard volume, that changes the PA as well. We also play some dives where the sound guy is getting high in then parking lot instead of sound checking..... My amp sends to the house pre-EQ, and a volume pedal in the effects loop after that is perfect. This also satisfies the flaw people pointed out in that a static volume level wouldn’t always work the next time I played that bar.

Thanks everyone! Lots of good solutions in here!

DIY:
Arduino - DigitalPotentiometer
Digital Potentiometer MCP41100 and Arduino

Many other examples around.
Many people are into Arduino these days. Cases and displays are cheap.

And my Morley Little Alligator volume pedal’s description even says “designed for use in the effects loop”
