Let’s see if I have this right.
If you don’t know the input gain the plug was built around then your choice for input gain is one more thing you might be doing wrong in your pursuit to use the plug at its ‘designed to be‘ optimal, state.
When coming from the real amps and cabs side of things plugging into a ‘digital’ amp introduces many new challenges, gain staging signal chain in hardware or software devices, including staging a series of digital components within a single hardware/software device that change individually within different presets, latency concerns and monitoring options, etc.
That is a lot of new skills to be mastered that are now between your instrument cable and the speaker output!
We get overwhelmed with info, good and bad from the internet.
So it would be really nice if the manufacturers would eliminate this part of that challenge that is easily done by publishing a number they already have calculated.
And if the manufacturer believes in their product, publishing their settings would be a cheap investment in customer support that reduces undeserved bad reviews of their product.
