I think he already changed it.Can this not be changed?
Finally figured out why my FM3 was not as aurally exciting as my Axe III.
I/O output 1 level set at +4 dBu on Axe III
I/O output 1 level set at -10dBu on FM3
You read the specs for your equipment.The Owner's Manual says "If you are connecting to professional-grade equipment operating at +4dBu..."
How do you know if you have "professional-grade" equipment (aren't all studio monitors and cabinets "professional grade"??) and how do you know if it operates at +4dBu?

If the manufacturer won't tell you what level their product is expecting, then you experiment and find out what works best.If only it were that easy and every manufacturer included that info. I haven't been able to find it for my Mission Gemini.
Mission guys are very helpful. Send them an email.If only it were that easy and every manufacturer included that info. I haven't been able to find it for my Mission Gemini.
-10dBu is instrument level. So anything you would plug your guitar straight into (front of an amp, most pedals, etc.) +4 dBu is line level. So anything that needs a preamp (power amp, studio monitors, PA speakers, etc.)The Owner's Manual says "If you are connecting to professional-grade equipment operating at +4dBu..."

1) It's not "-10 dBu." It's -10 dBV.-10dBu is instrument level. So anything you would plug your guitar straight into (front of an amp, most pedals, etc.) +4 dBu is line level. So anything that needs a preamp (power amp, studio monitors, PA speakers, etc.)
I guess my understanding was incorrect. Thanks for the clarification.1) It's not "-10 dBu." It's -10 dBV.
2) -10 dBV is not instrument level. It's line level that's common in consumer audio gear.
No worries. There's a lot of crap to memorize.I guess my understanding was incorrect. Thanks for the clarification.
"Instrument Level" is generally accepted as -20dBV, IIRC....1) It's not "-10 dBu." It's -10 dBV.
2) -10 dBV is not instrument level. It's line level that's common in consumer audio gear.
That is the understatement of the millenium....There's a lot of crap to memorize.
