My readings show that the output level of the Amp Out is actually about 20dB lower than what I put into the AXE I/O. The unit is not "mirroring" the DI signal to the Amp Out when you engage that option on In 1 in the controller software as advertised in the video linked above by Peter. The same readings were confirmed using DIs from multitrack sessions and by sending a sine wave (1kHz) from Cubase to the Amp Out and from there looping back into any of the two inputs. I am on firmware 1.10. I did a screen to gif capture that shows the problem. Strangely, the LED for the Amp Out suggests that the unit is mirroring the DI, but as you can see In 2 receives a signal that is about 20dB lower, no wonder the sound of the amp I fed it into sounded lifeless and weak ...

Did you ever get a solution to this issue?
I've just tried re-amping with the AXE I/O (the big unit, not the Solo) for the first time today, and I have a similar problem. Yes, my AXE I/O control panel seems up to date (1.2.1 2A21), and yes, the AXE I/O firmware seems up to date (1.10).
In my DAW (Logic Pro), the DI guitar track (recording through the AXE I/O Input 1 with Input Gain set to 0) peaks at -8.7 dB according to Logic's meters. When I send it through Output 5 (Amp Out, with the gain slider all the way up at -0 dB), the AXE I/O Control Panel output meter for the Amp Out seems hover around -25 to -30 dB. If I route a cable from Output 5 on the AXE I/O
directly back to either Input 1 or Input 2 (with their Input Gains set to 0 dB), the AXE I/O Control Panel input meters for those channels seems to hover around -40 to -45 dB (!) while Logic's own meter for the input track still peaks at -37.4 dB!
Not surprisingly, trying to re-amp such an apparently weak signal from the Amp Out to is kind of useless.
I suppose I should file a ticket with IK Support in any case, but I wonder if they found a solution for you, since this seems likely to be the same problem that I am having.
I wonder if I would get better results by going from one of the AXE I/O's line-outs on the back to a 3rd-party "re-amp box"?
Anyway, interested to hear if there is a solution (or even an explanation).
