Yes. The taper on the knob is different.So you would think having just an amp & cab preset with the same settings except for amp block levels, hitting zero on the respective meters, that it makes sense that with the XL output knob at 9 o'clock, the III's output knob needs to be at 12 o'clock to get to the same volume?
Understood. I'm surprised more people hadn't mentioned this so I thought there might be a problem with mine. I assume both at 100% would still give the same volume?Yes. The taper on the knob is different.
The Axe-Fx III is not an Axe-Fx II. Many things have been improved.
Not necessarily. The Axe-Fx III is not an Axe-Fx II.Understood. I'm surprised more people hadn't mentioned this so I thought there might be a problem with mine. I assume both at 100% would still give the same volume?
It's a concern because my band plays really loud (an issue I have been trying to correct for ages) so I am wondering if I can even get the III heard over the rest of the band. My III level is now set where I normally have my XL set at rehearsal & I'm only getting neighbor friendly living room volume levels. Thanks for the help & clarifying it's normal operation for the III!Not necessarily. The Axe-Fx III is not an Axe-Fx II.

Thanks. So can I assume that my initial question about the compressor make up gain is not an issue as well?The maximum output level of the III is greater than the II by a couple dB.
YesThanks. So can I assume that my initial question about the compressor make up gain is not an issue as well?
Thanks Cliff. I really appreciate the great customer service!
I already set it to +4 & the overall levels are still way below the XL at similar settings but Cliff says this is normal & the output knobs have different tapers than the older units.Not an Axe III owner yet, but I think I read somewhere that on the III the output level defaults to -10 dB instead of +4. That definitely would impact the overall output level. Try changing that to +4 if you haven’t already.
This is with squeaky clean & slightly overdriven tones. Makeup gain was very noticeable in the XL. Not at all so in my III.
Output is set to:
Mode: stereo
Output Level: +4
Phase: Normal
Yep, definitely output 1.Just to make sure: the settings above are for output 1 and you’re actually using output 1?
