Hi!
I would be glad if someone could help me solve an amplification problem.
After a long time I'm jamming with my friends again and something is not quite right in my signal chain. I have an Axe FX going into Atomic CLR active speaker. It sounded totally congested at higher volume. We've noticed that the signal in bypass mode (only speaker volume) is much lower than with an active preset. My friend's logic was that those two signals should be of somewhat same level and that there is too much amplification going on before the speaker. For example, if I lower the amp block master output, it sounds much more open and better (but no signal is visible on the dB meter under utility and it usually tickles 0 dB by all presets). Also if I play some music from my laptop connected via USB, it is also much louder than the guitar thru bypass.
Is it possible that I have to adjust the Axe output level somewhere to match the presets output (and Axe internal sound card) with bypass mode or is this normal. Where could I find this output parameter?
I hope that you understand my question. Thanks a lot in advance.
