Especially when you go through and set them all and then wanna try out a new amp that clips....then you have to start the damn process all over again. I really wish this could be addressed.

You didn't read the suggestions, didn't you? It's just a matter of keeping enough headroom in your presets, from the start. You only have to do that once. Then there'll be no need anymore to start the damn process all over again.
Yes I did. I've been a user for 5 plus years now. I know the unit. Some of my patches are negative 25 on the level and STILL need lowering.

I hate the use your ears advice but it really does apply here. I have been at lower than -25 b4. I had to tell my self to not let the numerical value I was seeing bother me a d just do it till it feels/sounds rightYes I did. I've been a user for 5 plus years now. I know the unit.

When you're trying out a new amp that clips, just turn down the one that clips. There's no process beyond that....is it is a real pain in the ass...Especially when you go through and set them all and then wanna try out a new amp that clips....then you have to start the damn process all over again.
If you get a lot of clipping when you try new amps, there's something else in your chain that has way more level than it needs.
Exactly. Something else is boosting the signal in there. But I have a feeling that the OP has his mind set. ;-)
I've tried these solutions given over the years YEK and they haven't provided a solution for my situation. Sorry you feel the need to reprimand me, but it literally is the only issue I have with the unit. I hate the feeling of spending hours leveling things only to have to do it again and again. Having negative 25 on a level seems very "unlike the real world amp". Tell me where negative 25 is on a Marshall? Thanks for all the responses and replies.C'mon... You chose to vent your unhappiness in a thread. A number of helpful people reacted, providing suggestions, to which you've not responded at all. Instead, you just repeated your rant. I don't think my "feeling" is that far off.
This process would be a lot better if we could set the A,B,C,D knobs for global whatever and just start flying through the 60 presets...as is it is a real pain in the ass.

Yes, there's a much easier way.
Go to your cleanest preset. That's the one that's going to give you the most clipping problems. If you use a level boost, turn that on too.
Dial in that preset to just below clipping. Then drop it another 6 to 10 dB to give yourself some headroom.
Now level the rest of your patches against the one you just set. No more flickering red lights.
This is the problem right here and I mentioned it in my original response. You can not let the visual numbers get in your head. The connection you're trying to make is bad to say the least. So much of the ii is nothing like real life ie all the advanced parameters we can mess with in 2 sec. Marshall's start at 0 and go to 11 on the plus side the axe goes way over 11. Do you only use it between 0 and 11? Further more if you are using a Marshall like a plexi the master as you know is in 10. You can not make the correlation between a real life master and the ii amp block level controlHaving negative 25 on a level seems very "unlike the real world amp".

I get your frustration. I also get yek's frustration. Here's the problem he and I are both facing:I've tried these solutions given over the years YEK and they haven't provided a solution for my situation.

You're comparing apples to oranges. A Marshall doesn't even have a Level parameter.Having negative 25 on a level seems very "unlike the real world amp". Tell me where negative 25 is on a Marshall? Thanks for all the responses and replies.
