Hi guys ?
Alan/ any other G system users please chime in
Have had a few issues to say the least with setting up my G system in a 4 cable method with my fender supersonic 22W...
its mostly level issues with the loop
I have tried a good 4 times now to set it up according to Laird's white paper to no effect - The unit with the default settings recommended in Lairds manual - on the back End is a good 10dB's louder than plugged straight into amp with fx loop bypassed.
then with the front end in, its still massively louder.
So i made the following adjustments to match levels, but i feel its maybe not the best way to get the most transparent sound...
I increased the loop headroom to 6dB (which he says one should avoid doing ?)
I decreased the output to - 6 dB and
dropped the input to 2dB from standard input 8dB.
and had to engage the boost function to 2dB to get additional 2dB headroom on system.
Now its matched completely with dry input, but i have attenuated over 15dB which seems a little extreme.... i cant notice too much coloration or loss of tone, but im wondering if there is something else i can do
I am not using balanced cables., I believe my amps FX loop is the problem - it is serial to my knowledge and there is no visible attenuation/ loop level knobs.
???
