I'm getting a Marshall SV20H today which I will be running into my usual setup which is:
-Axe Fx III
-Output 3
-Tube amp (with humbuster cable)
-LB-2 (passive mode)
-Axe Fx III
-Input 3 (for cab modeling and noise gate etc)
The thing is, I'm going to have to turn that Marshall up pretty loud to get sweet tones but the 'DI Level' control on the LB-2 seems to make the sound much more dull when I turn it down. So for that reason I prefer to not have that control under 2 or 3 o'clock. Just so it stays nice and bright. For loud amps what I've been doing is turning down the level on the input 3 block on Axe Edit to compensate for the loudness going into the input and I haven't heard any (audible) clipping so far. The input gain in the I/O menu is also pretty low (somewhere around 10/20%). I'm just wondering how far I can take this? Will there be a point where input 3 starts to distort? Or will turning down the input level in the input block simply act as a 'pad'?
Any help would be appreciated
