Odd question: How can I best provide some resistance to the output knob? I think my only beef with the new ABMs are the notches. I often find I need to be on the "hump" so I can get the input up where I want it for some breakup. I get why they are there. Handy in some respects but there is a big jump in volume from one notch to another. I was thinking of maybe a felt washer on the shaft to provide resistance that might help it stay on top of a hump and not want to go to one of the notches. If I were not pushing the valve it would not be an issue, but would like to have have that option if possible at lower output volumes. (I'm using my rig as mainly a monitor and some fill as I also go FOH.) Any thoughts that might help my weirdness (other than professional help)?   

You could use a passive volume control in the effects loop. This would allow you to find tune the output volume.

I used to do just that with s pedal from the now defunct Award Session. The benifit that you could kick in and out the pot and get a solo boost 

 

your in luck
