Get a DCC controller and learn how to use it. The manual is here at the Bachmann site.
The Bachmann Dynamis is the one you need, not the EZ Command.
Your could take the tender apart and try soldering in a resistor. Call it experimenting, trying to find a suitable value. I work in electronics and I would never try this.
If you have to ask, I suspect you do not work in electronics.
This is the digital age.
You might find someone in your area who can do this on their DCC system. Maybe a LHS.

I assume you have the Bachmann on board Tsunami.
The on board is different than the OEM Tsunami for some features/CV's. I think the same CV for volume though.
The person who is doing the CV adjustment probably knows this.
I have the on board Tsunami and OEM Tsunami.
