Am I to understand that Input Drive and Input Trim become identical when the Bright switch is engaged?
No.
Am I to understand that Input Drive and Input Trim become identical when the Bright switch is engaged?
That's the opposite of what you asked in your earlier post, hence Cliff's answer....But if you disengage the bright cap, then it won't get brighter...
Forgive me if I mistyped earlier. I meant what I said most recently. Can you answer what I asked?That's the opposite of what you asked in your earlier post, hence Cliff's answer.
"if you disengage the bright cap, then it won't get brighter... so it is essentially a gain control (with no EQ change) like the Input Trim, right? What's the difference between Input Trim and Input Drive with bright cap disengaged?"
Why not just try it?
Then you'll have your answer.
With the bright cap disengaged, I would expect them to behave similarly. Whether their behavior is exactly identical depends on he individual amp design, and what frequency-dependent impedances so are inthe vicinity of the control. As joegold says, try it with your favorite amp models and see."if you disengage the bright cap, then it won't get brighter... so it is essentially a gain control (with no EQ change) like the Input Trim, right? What's the difference between Input Trim and Input Drive with bright cap disengaged?"
Input Trim:
The Input Trim control allows you to adjust the input attenuation without changing the frequency response. If you turn down the Input Drive and the model has a bright cap the amp will get brighter. Now you may like the brighter tone but wish there were more gain. Input Trim allows you to increase the gain without changing the tone. Conversely you may like the darker tone with Input Drive set high but wish there were less gain. In this case you can lower Input Trim.
Does the amp gain in global menus adjusts input trim?
I knew it was an off set I just wanted to confirm if it was off setting input trimI believe so, yes.
I think it's an offset that's either added to or subtracted from every Preset's Amp Block's Input Trim (although the offset amount will not be visible in the Amp Block itself).
This allows you to use guitars with varying pickup output strengths w/o having to re-tweak a Preset for that specific guitar's output level.
I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong.
Note: Instrument 1-2 In, on the first page of the I/O Menu does not change the gain at all.
Setting this correctly just optimises the noise floor of the Axe.
Fractal doesn't specify, so it's hard to know for sure. It's handy, though when swapping guitars that have significantly different output levels.I knew it was an off set I just wanted to confirm if it was off setting input trim

You are the man. I knew he had said something way back but could not find it
