iRig Pro DUO clipping

Postby jimmydormire » Tue Apr 25, 2017 5:30 am

I can only barely crack the gain on and it seems to clip especially with an electric guitar straight in. I hate to have to keep turning the pickups down to at least half way to get a clean recording signal. By turning pickups down you lose tonality... Usually use a PRS guitar but even a Telecaster will clip the DUO.... Overall it's a tone suppressor to have such a wee bit of signal hitting the pre and coming out of pre...

That's not the expected behavior, it should work very well for guitar input of all types. Please open a ticket with IK Support at http://www.ikmultimedia.com/contact-sup ... -hardware/ and they will troubleshoot with you and assist you directly to resolve your issue.

This is similar to mine. Gain has to be turned full down on any guitar or line level. A straight guitar will clip for sure even when the gain is fully turned down. So will a normal level line input. A guitar with high output pickups has to be dramatically turned down to stop clipping.

That doesn't sound like normal/expected behavior. I would suggest also opening a ticket at the link in my previous post if you have not done so already.

Did you get it sorted? Mine does the same thing. Clipping even when the gain is all the way down. :(
