Differences in volume with amp blocks from row 1 to row 3

Quad Cortex

DISCLAIMER - I am not incredibly knowledgeable about this type of stuff as I have just gotten into modelers in the past year. So I apologize up front if I am asking a stupid question or a once talked about topic.

I have noticed that moving an amp block from ROW 1 to ROW 3 increases the level of volume substantially. I noticed the amp block does actually sound different to me. On row 1 it sounds what I would say normal sounding. When I move it to the 3rd row with my cab behind it suddenly it gets very loud, almost as if its being pushed hard to clip. Has anyone had this type of experience? or is there something I am missing. Any information would be helpful thank you

Can you upload a screenshot or photo of your preset with the amp placed in row3? Without we only are able to guess what the problem could be.

UPDATE: I have solved the problem! So the issue was that the volume/output level of ROW1 was at -11db compared to ROW 3. I was unaware that if you held down the output of ROW 1 there was a volume knob there. After resetting the knob all is the same level on both rows! PHEW! Now I can have amp blocks on ROW 3 and open up some space. :slight_smile:
