VU Meters
10.4
The VU Meter page of the main menu shows preset sound levels in a horizontal meter, scaled from -20 to +10 dB
with a line to mark 0 dB. The levels of one or both amp blocks in your preset can be adjusted using the A and B
knobs. The value of the Output Level knobs is displayed for reference only and does not affect the VU meters as
the measurement is prior to the Output Level potentiometers.
Note: It is generally recommend to use the Amp block to set levels for consistency, but if you are using a complex
grid routing, however, or if there are
level-dependent
blocks AFTER your amp, you'll need to adjust levels
elsewhere. (Level-dependent blocks include Compressor, Drive, Gate, and possibly the FX LOOP if the loop contains
outboard gear) Adjust the last of these blocks in your signal chain for best results.
If you need to set levels PER SCENE, see “To Set the Main Output Level for a Scene:” on p. 43.
