Fractalites,
Dudes and dudettes. I just had a brief 10 minutes of scary at the home recording station. I had... a loss of balls in my sound. For the first time since I became a more powerful user of the Axe-fx II, I started to worry. My guitar was plugged into the front instrument input.
Then I started looking at m input levels. No matter what I did, I couldn't get the input level into the red. OMG. Did I somehow fry my input? Did my guitar pickups take a crap? Change out for a bass. Same damn thing. Horrible sound. Switched back to guitar. Turned up drive. Holy crap it just got flubby and didn't really change the gain structure. Did my beloved black box just die on me? NOOOOOOOO!
Then I started looking at the audio settings in my input/output section. Lo and behold... my input 1 somehow got changed to L+R sum... Setting it back to left only... VOILA! BACK IN BUSINESS.
Sometimes people have been on here talking about this problem - out of nowhere they just couldn't get the Axe-fx II to sound like it had before. I am now seriously wondering if it wasn't this exact problem. Anyhoo... if you ever run into a thing like this... check that damn audio -> input 1 mode before you start with the nervous coffee sweating. LOL
