Not a newbie, but an Axe-Fx III newbie

[plyall]

Folks -

I just bought the Axe FX III after having a II for a few years. I have been moving, so I haven't really had a chance to mess with it for more than 30 minutes.

Fumbling my way through the presets and channels, I couldn't seem to find the preamp gain knob on the amp block. I know it sounds crazy, but has it been removed? I'm probably just not looking in the right place.

Thanks for enduring my pseudo-newbie question (and those to come!)

Input Drive in the amp block Basic tab.

Thanks Chris! Doesn't it feel weird to use an amp(s) that have no GAIN control?

The only real amp I ever used like that was my Fuchs ODS-30... it had an INPUT DRIVE knob.

The Axe Fx II is no different... The gain control on both is called Input Drive.

That’s the gain control. The Axe wouldn’t have 200+ amps authentically modeled with no way to change the gain.
