Thanks for that. Yes, when I applied the firmware update I did a full factory reset.

I haven’t changed any of the global settings. In fact, I just received the Stomp XL and have been using it for a day. I updated the firmware to the latest and fired up some backing tracks. I’ll be using the Stomp XL primarily for headphone practice. I have: Computer > USB > Stomp Guitar > Stomp Stomp > Headphones About as simple as it gets. No matter what I do to the USB trim setting in global settings, Spotify, YouTube, etc comes in at a level that is much too hot. I’m using a stock “Jazz Rivet” preset and haven’t been futzing around with gain settings. Everything is at unity gain. Headphone volume knob is at about noon. It’s weird why it’s not working.

I play along to YouTube videos from my MacBook, which is connected via USB to my Stomp XL. I wear headphones that are connected to the Stomp XL. I always have to remember to set the volume control of the YT video to about 5%, lest I blow out my ears. I was under the impression from the manual that I could attenuate the volume from my laptop’s backing tracks with the global USB 1/2 trim setting. But changing the level there has no effect whatsoever. Am I misunderstanding the function of that USB 1/2 trim setting?
