Got my AxeFX today. Sounds great as usual, it was a big plus being adept at setting things up and getting going asap. I tried it in the loop of my Suhr Badger and it sounds great as an FX processor.
I'm going direct into my audio interface and I have a question. I'm using unbalanced cables (I think they are short but still guitar type cables?) out of OUT1 into my audio interface left and right. My audio interface has a software mixer where you can set the ins and outs to -10 or +4. Since I'm running unbalanced I have the ins @ -10. How should the outs be set? Does it matter on the soundcard? I get a ton of more volume and headroom with ins (from the Axe @ -10 and outs from the soundcard @ +4. But, I can set the outs to -10 as well. Maybe less noisefloor or something? The signal is definitely not as hot, but is using +4 just pumping up the signal artificially?
The output on the AxeFX itself is already @3 oclock on the dial. I don't want to crank any further.
