Hi everyone,
first message here from my part. I’m a 2 time dad and living room guitar player. I was a Kemper user the last 2 years, but I decided to give the axe a chance. I received my axe III this week and I’m amazed! The difference, especially in terms of feel, is immense. I know these kind of things can be pretty subjective, but to my ears, the axe feels a million times better.
A huge thanks to Justin York from york audio. Not only are his products amazing, but he also is a very kind person who put me on to the axe.
one thing I noticed is that I apparently need to adjust the input level quite high. I have a strat, so it’s normal that it’s a lower input signal, but I have to increase level to 90-95% to tickle the red. Is this normal?
little side question: in the I/o menu, there’s an “input gain” knob on the right. What does this do exactly in comparison to the level?
just to illustrate: if I pick a deluxe (vibrato), it starts to break up at around 7 input gain on the amp. Is this normal, or so I need to compensate with the input trim (which in my understanding is a neutral input boost to the signal before it hits the amp)?
if you guys have any tips or advise on getting the best out of this machine, I’m all ears
greetings from Belgium!
