I know the issue of clipping is a well trodden path, and is covered in many threads. Still, I thought I'd mention this. After updating to V11b (Which I am very happy with by the way!) my loudest presets, which I use for solo's etc, are now clipping quite a bit from output 1. They previously were not doing this, but I guess they were pretty close to the clipping point and V11 has pushed them over the edge. The clip light comes on, although there is only a slight audible clip.
My solution for this is the well known one: To reduce the amp block level in these presets until the clipping stops, so in this case, about 3db to stop the clipping. Then, I reduce the amp level in all my other presets by 3db to balance them all out against each other. So far, so good. Then I increase the OUT 1 knob on the front panel to bring the overall level back to roughly where it was before. Still good, and no more clipping.
But as I check the levels of MY presets against the levels of similar factory presets, mine are really quiet, and the factory ones are enourmously loud. Beforehand, I had it so all my presets were pretty good level-wise against the majority of factory presets. Is this something anyone else has noticed and is it 'wrong'?
