AXE I/O SOLO amp out problem

[felipevsw]

Oh man, one of the two reason why I bought the AXE I/O interface was the Amp out... I thought it would be good not to have yet another hardware (separate reamp box) since the AXEIO has one in box...

[mod redacted - please review the rules, this is not a support forum and one fix may not fit all even if it seems like "the exact same issue"]

I cannot speak for everyone, but I certainly got no "private fix" from IK Support. Did anyone, actually? I do not think that there is a "fix" (private or public); I think that's just "how it is".

I ended up getting a super-clean, super-hot boost pedal and calibrated it to bring the signal (from either the Amp Out or a Line Out->reamp box) up to match the actual input signal levels from my guitars. It does the job.

To be fair, I looked around for either interfaces or ramp boxes that would do a good job of this on their own, but all the ones (of either) that I found were fairly expensive pro-level stuff. (And there are limits to what it's worth my spending money on! ) Since I'm not usually re-amping with the objective of obtaining a clean tone I figure any tiny amount of saturation that might be introduced by the clean boost is probably negligible for my purposes.

I'm thinking about using an eq pedal to boost the signal perhaps... I have a modded Boss GE-7 (with the low noise IC chips) and a 10-band eq... Of course I would start by just boost the level and not any frequencies, but I also feel like this would "mask" the true sound of the signal in some way...
