spikey Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I would imagine the guitar input and adjust the amp/settings for hot pickups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocco_Crocco Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I would turn the input pad on in Global Settings 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_hotch Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Exclusive EMG user here: I use the guitar input, no input padding and set the input impedance to 230k. I add gating to the input based on the type of patch: more gain = more gating. Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBD_123 Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 I'd expect selecting a low impedance to have more effect on tone than setting the pad on (my default preference even with low output pickups) but try 'em all and see what you like best...
