    AX8 OUT1 Level Changing Occasionally with Preset Change

    I have been using the VU meter screen to equalize preset levels. All went well except for a strange problem. Occasionally when I am on the VU meter screen and I change presets, my OUT1 level changes from 100% to 3% and it appears to be random. (see attached photo) I can change to another preset...

I use Output 3 in my rehearsal room, where I need my guitar and backing track to sound from one speaker. On the gigs, I usually give separate channels for that. So output 1 for a...
