[QUOTE="Veggie Dave, post: 627947, member: 4016"] This is probably more for those live players who use clip-on mics, but other live musicians may well be able to help, too. I'm in a show at the moment where it would be really helpful to supply the FoH with two separate volume levels - one is the full line level for solos and prominent sections/phrases, the other is for when the sax needs to be really low in the mix. Obviously, if you're using a mic on a stand then this is a doddle. With a clip-on mic, on the other hand, mic control isn't possible. Of course, if this was a big production, the sound engineer would do the hard work and I could forget all about it. But it's not, and you can't expect an engineer who's never worked with you before to remember which songs and which sections require which volume level. I've found a few examples of A/B volume pedals out there but only the Boss one seems to be relatively easy to find. Has anyone had any experience of doing something like this? [/QUOTE]
