Angry Andy + Volume too loud

[Domingo L]

I want to make my Angry Andy plus not as loud. Unity volume is about 9 o'clock in the 50 watt position. It would be nice if it were at 12 o'clock. Could I change the value of the volume pot? Lower or higher? Or is there a better way? TIA

Stupid question, but is the boost on?

The changing the volume pot value will only change the output impedance, not volume.
Looking at the schematic, you can lower the value of R8 which will reduce the total gain and overall volume.

I the 50w setting is unity at 9 o'clock, how loud is the 100w setting?

AT the 100Watt setting it's incredibly loud and the 25 watt is low in volume. I guess everything works fine, I would like better control over the volume. I may add a trimmer before the volume pot

LEDs are loud and obnoxious, but in a good way. There’s really not much you can do about it other than maybe running a compressor limiter in front of it. Chances are, if you’re playing in a band, you’re not going to be switching it mid show.

For better or worse, that's how this pedal is supposed to work. If you do end up using a compressor or limiter, put it AFTER the Andy +.

A trimmer is a good idea, try 100K or larger. Be aware that no trimmer setting will be good for all 3 switch positions.
