a question about the preset sound volume

[bluesk165]

Hello? I am a FM9 beginner.
Why do certain presets sound louder under the same conditions?
When I check the level, the dB is the same.
And it's not just my hallucinations, the sound is actually very loud and vibrant.

* The preset <Edige of Break> made by Cooper cater is much louder even at the same dB than all the presets I have made.
How does this work?

You have to look at the amp type and tone stack EQ differences between them! Clean vrs driven vrs edge of breakup, all can have varying volume differences.

Hearing is pretty subjective, so your perceived volume will depend on many factors like frequency content, dynamics, duration, ear fatigue, etc., so the number on the meter (which is a weighted average) is only part of the story.

There are many blocks with a Level knob. Are you checking the values of those knob(s)? Or are you using the Preset Leveling Tool? But still everything said in the posts above is relevant.
