So I've returned from tonights gig and found myself wanting for more volume from my rig.
Playing in a 5 piece band as the lead guitarist my rhythm sounds seemed loud enough on stage but my solo's definitely weren't cutting through.
So I turned up my power amp (bearing in mind I am using a Fryette Powerstation 60 watt with 2 Mesa 1x12 cabinets not FRFR). Then I turned up the Volumes on the front of the Axe Fx 3.
Still not loud enough.
The only option I think I have from here is to turn up my outputs internally? I have set my amp block and output levels within the Axe as per the manual with the meters just tickling the red when I play hard.
Question is.... how far can I turn up the amp block and output into the red?
I could obviously do without digitally clipping my sound if that's what going to happen, and I presume it is?
I am aware that most guys probably don't run the axe in this type of situation but does anyone run their levels hot internally, and know how far to push it safely within reason?
Many thanks.
