Up til now, I have been using my Axe FX III set up like this: Output 2 (XLR) >> Mixer >> USB >> Computer >> Reaper (a DAW)
And it has been working fabulously!
To simplify things, I've deviced to cut out the mixer and go directly from the Axe FX III USB >> Computer >> Reaper.
When I do so, and also use Output 2 (via USB) I can't seem to get the levels set correctly. I am "tickling the red" with my acoustic, and all other levels (on the levels screen) seem to be fine, though the USB Output is a bit higher than the others, it is still not maxxed out. The problem is that the signal in Reaper is distorted on loud notes - the levels are still at like -6, but it is still distorted.
For what it is worth, my analog out #2 is connected to a PA speaker at the same time and sounds great.
Could it be I am missing somethign obvious? (wouldn't be the first time ) What should my next troubleshooting steps be?
