Sorry if this seems like a noob kind of question. I'm not a noob to the Axe... Had my Ultra for three years and been gigging with it for two of them so I know how to use the input level controls. However, I don't understand why the Axe needs these. A typical guitar amplifier has no such control. Whether you use a Strat, a Les Paul or a high output, active-pickup loaded axe of death, you just plug in and play. No one who uses a normal guitar amp seems to have a problem with this. What is the significance of input level controls?
