So i just got back from something very disappointing. I've been bragging about my newly bought Axe Fx to my bandmates, telling them it was gods gift to the guitar world. So naturally, when we got to our practice room they asked me for a big demonstration.
Of course i said! Not knowing what was about to happen. I plugged it in directly into our mixer and the sound that greeted me was nothing short of horrendous. It sounded like the signal was weak and the sound itself had NO power what so ever. I noticed my unimpressed bandmates look and i started to desperetaly try to fix it but nothing i could do fixed it.
This is completely my fault of course, i thought the Axe Fx was a "plug and play" unit. So i've haven't learn how to plug it in properly.
I need a crash course on how to do this. Links, videos or just you writing would be really appreciated.
Here is is our rig:

I plugged the Axe Fx into the -10dBu1/4 jack, both left and right of Output 1 into the 7/8 channel.
