Hi, newbie here, loving the Mess, for effects and audio quality. Im using it on guitar with a stereo setup, great sounds! I only have not a good idea how i level all gains. If i understand well, a muted track passes through the input, but this is not the same level as the input level, and i seem to here this varies depending the used routing. So my question is: at which levels are level through set at and how do they add up (are muxed together) in (dual) parralel. Another think i dont understand is that i get different levels (when the effects are on) when i start or stop ‘play’ , although i have a step at step 2 for each effect.
Welcome the Club Mess!
Yes, I think I know what you mean.
Fortunately, on the Mess, there are rotary knobs for Input level and Output level.
I use them all the time.
In my case, other effects before my Mess add / drop gain too.
So, having my Mess mid-way in my chain lets me use the Input/Output levels on the Mess to help regularize across the chain.

Thanx! Indeed the input knob is important to gain-level between effect on and off.
I think to realy be able to match all levels you need to be able to adjust in each effect block: effect level, direct level ( these could be combined in effect mix as it is now) and total level (which could replace effect level). Would be great feuture for future updates!
