Clean Sens
♦
Different types of guitars produce different output levels depending on their pickups and string gauge: for
example, humbucker pickups generate higher voltages compared to single coils, and active guitars gener-
ate even hotter signal levels. If you feel that clean sounds are either very loud or very soft compared to dis-
torted sounds, you can adjust "Clean Sens" to a level where clean sounds have the same perceived loud-
ness as distorted sounds. "Clean Sens" determines the volume of clean sounds, but not the way the amp or
the effects are driven. A low level guitar output stays cleaner; a hot guitar will still distort more easily.
Extremely hot guitars can generate unwanted distortion, also indicated by a red Input LED. To prevent this,
turn down "Clean Sens" a bit.
Distortion Sens
♦
Distortion Sens should normally stay at zero (middle) position. Every rig will react as if you have plugged
your guitar to the original amplifier.
If you feel that your guitar tends to drive the distortion too hot (or too soft) for the majority of factory rigs,
then calibrate your guitar by adjusting "Distorted Sens" accordingly.

Note: Clean Sens is not a simple input gain; you will notice that it does not affect the gain of a distorted
sound. Distortion Sens is also not a simple booster, as it does not affect the gain of clean sounds. Neither
of these parameters colors the sound.
The input section is locked by default. The settings will be relevant for every rig or performance until you
decide to unlock it. If you unlock this section, the input settings will be individually saved and recalled per
rig. Alternatively, you can leave the input section locked, and create local presets for individual guitars. You
can then switch between these local presets independently of switching rigs.
For example: if you want to use different guitars, you can create a customized local preset for each. When
you switch guitars, simply select the respective local input preset, and the rest of the rig will remain un-
changed. Remember: the input section is locked by default, therefore changing rigs will not affect it.
