So I plugged my guitar into my audio interface so I could experiment with some amp sims.
I put switch Input 1 from Mic/Line to "Guitar" so it is Hi-Z. I have the preamp gain knob all the way to the left (i.e. minimum possible). If I turn my guitar volume knob up all the way, the signal on Input 1 goes into the red
I guess I pick pretty hard, but not the hardest in the world.
These are passive pickups too. Any idea why this is happening? I can keep the signal below the red if I lower my volume with the volume knob o the guitar, but I feel weird recording a DI with the volume being choked on the guitar.
