My trusty Massive Passive is 9 out of 10 times always matching in balance (meaning that what you dial is pretty much what you get). My IBIS is always a little out, mainly due to human error as the pots are small and light...

... the GML however is always WAY out! If I perfectly dial a boost in a frequency, when run the oscillator through it (it check lows, low mids, mids, upper mids and top) 10 out of 10 times the balance of L and R is different by a significant audible amount (we're talking 1 sometimes 2dB here)... I'm suspecting the left channel is slightly louder overall.

I was wondering if anyone had this problem or if anyone knows how to calibrate these beasts!

Thanks to all in advance.
Can you hear any imbalance? Maybe it does not matter so much after all?
