Honestly feel that a lot of the issues with people not getting the right sound out of each amp model is partly because of technique and guitar/pickup choice. There’s so many amps in modelers that people haven’t ever played, so they don’t understand how the amps work or respond IRL. Add that with technique that isn’t great and it’s causing lots of confusion.

Saw this same thing in multiple videos, however, I am not finding a simple-enough way to determine how much gain is added to the audio interface input from the zero baseline. I have a Focusrite Scarlett Solo Gen 3. Any resources?
Again, this is the Quad Cortex forum; these concerns are appropriate for the plugins and computer plugins, but this is a non-issue with the QC.

i watched the video when adding gain on interface will be reduced on plugin how i am going to measure that value
I compared the setup where I set the I/O input gain to +9.3 (simultaneously setting the preset input volume to -9.3) with the setup where both were set to 0.
With no guitar connected, I added only the 81Drive to the grid to make noise detection easier.
The former clearly has significantly less noise.
I had always assumed the I/O input gain was digital, so I’d been using it set to 0. However, this test confirmed that was wrong.
Why didn’t I try such a simple test sooner?
It seems like it’s best to think about input gain in the same way as you would for an audio interface or mixing console.
