AMPLIFI volume differences in preset tones

There isn't really a 'fix', because it's not really a problem. Unfortunately, it's the nature of the beast -- the beast being 'modeling'. The goal of modeling is to emulate the product being modeled in every way possible, and that includes gain, signal amplitudes and other parameters. Yes, it does complicate things, because a lot of these things interact with each other and affect the ultimate output to the amplifier.

 

I think a lot of us would like some kind of a mechanism for simple normalizing the outputs of the presets to get around this, but there's not. It requires diving into all the presets you want to use and trying to adjust the levels for some semblance of equality. And that's hard, too, because a there are differences in perceived amplitude that are dependent on the shape of the output waveform.  A clean signal with a given P-P amplitude will sound radically different in terms of apparent loudness than a heavily distorted signal with the same level.

 

It's a bear!!!!!
