PODxt before impulsing, low volume levels.

[Element77]

Hey guys,

I'm having an issue with this impulsing dealio. Right now, when I record, I'm using a PODxt with the Big Bottom amp, and before I started using Boogex, I was just using the standard Cabs with the POD. Well, I would record, I would get a good input level, nice peaks and valleys. Now, when I record using "No Amp", at 100% volume, I get hardly any readings while recording, It will be loud because of the Boogex plug-in, but still, the signal coming in, sans impulse, is barely peaking at -18 to -16 dbs.

What gives?

any takers?

Wait...you said "No Amp", but did you mean to put "No Cab"?

Assuming it's anything like my XT Live, if you've turned off the amp, then you go through the 'amp bypass volume' stage. Check what that is set to.

DarkProject, you're a genius. That's exactly what it was. Still not up to the level I need, but thank you very much!

try using one of the comp stompboxes for volume boost or the main comp

YEa, I'm gonna have to figure something out. It's still too low, and moving the "Amp Bypass" isn't actually doing anything. I can turn up the output, but that makes it clip hard. I'll figure something out.
