I never would touch what goes to FOH after it's set. If, in a very rare case, I need to use a personal FRFR, I do leave room if I need it.I would advise to avoid setting it to 100% because then you cant go higher if you need to. Like the micro tuners on a Floyd Rose bridge, you always want to leave some room to go flatter/sharper… IMHO…
I actually no not move the FOH feed after setting the trim. It stays at 100%. I get whatever I need in my wedge. And FOH does whatever they do.Gotta read the whole post. What Moke does is proper level setting through the system. In short, 100% is used to set mixer channel trim, then he backs it off to a useable stage level, so there is room to go up without clipping things....
Well, then, I stand corrected....I never would touch what goes to FOH after it's set. If, in a very rare case, I need to use a personal FRFR, I do leave room if I need it.

You can see a corresponding numerical value for OUT 1 with the front panel Setup > Utilities > ADC Levels. However, it's a percentage value for a non-linear taper, so it's mostly useful if you're just seeking repeatable values (as opposed to some kind of dBFS gain staging calculation).I run out 1 at noon as many do, but was hoping there might be some numerical indication of the precise output somewhere in the setup area (there isn't as far as I know).
Fantastic - exactly what I was after. Thx!You can see a corresponding numerical value for OUT 1 with the front panel Setup > Utilities > ADC Levels.

Yes - that's one place to preset level. There is also a menu option for preset leveling that I prefer.Preset leveling in the output block right? I've been doing that for sure. When we play live I'm going to an X32 at FOH in most cases.
What are you running your OP at +4 or -10 dB?I run the Output knobs (going to FOH) on all my modelers at 100%, and trim at the FOH mixer inputs accordingly. All presets internally leveled to around '0' dB for rhythm scenes. Solo scenes, more 'mids' and/or a couple dB louder. Completely repeatable and never had an issue.
Outputs to a personal FRFR is a different story...
I typically turn the FRFR volume control all the way down, turn the modeler output knob to full, gradually increase the FRFR volume to the highest volume that I would expect to need and/or the highest gain that I can get before unwanted feedback, on my higher-gain presets, which ever comes first. Then back down the modeler output knob to what I actually need in that situation.
Now I can add more if needed, but can't accidentally go too far and hurt any equipment, or my ears.
+4.. One time, a few years ago, I had to back it down to 50% because the venue had a very old analog board.What are you running your OP at +4 or -10 dB?
You're not the typical guitar player then.I never would touch what goes to FOH after it's set.

I caught one of our guitarists 'sandbagging' his volume during a sound check and he was told if he wanted to continue playing it would stop.
Glad I'm neither. I prefer to make friends with audio engineers. Mess with their mix and you'll quickly make enemies.There are two types of guitarists - those who get caught sandbagging their levels, and those who are good at it LOL
If I make eye contact with the sound dude, point at my ear, then my guitar, and it doesn't get bumped up in the monitors, then I have little choice but to turn my amp up, do I? Actually happened at a gig in Scottsdale years ago. I was trying to play nice, keep stage volume reasonable, and do my job. Dude was more interested in jiggly silicone....There are two types of guitarists - those who get caught sandbagging their levels, and those who are good at it LOL
