I have successfully set up the 4 cable method with my Voodoo V-Rock 100 and my AxeFx III as outlined on page 27 of the manual. I also set the outputs to left only and the boost/pad to +18db as described. All works as expected.
The V-Rock is a Modded JCM 800 style amp with a master volume and a fixed level series effects loop. I am looking to confirm the proper way to gain stage output in this setup.
As there is not an effects send level on the rear of this amp, I assume the amp’s master volume becomes my send level.
If that is correct, I assume I should adjust the master volume level to provide good return signal level on input 4 - in my case about 8 for solid orange lights on input 4‘s front panel meters.
Set up this way, I would then the use the output 4 level control on the front of then Axe FX as the master volume.
In Cooper Carter’s Axe III masterclass he suggested that both outputs 3 and 4 should be at 100% for unity gain In 4CM. That also works but the input signal on input 4 has fairly low input level with my master volume adjusted down at tolerable practice level.
Obvoiusly, I trust Mr. Cater‘s advice but I would also assume I am looking for a decent input 4 level.
As I seem to be able to mix and match the levels between the amp’s master volume and the III’s output 4 with decent results, I am really just looking to confirm the recommended best practice in my situation.
