Dumn Question About the Sans Amp Para Driver.

[laklandfan07]

Hey there i have a question about setting the "Output" level on my para driver. I currently use it as a stomp box to warm up my sound without it going through my effect loop on my amp. Its simply bass--->para driver-->some other effects--->amp. Should i have it set to "line level" or "instrument level"? I assume instrument level as it sound close to unity gain with all knobs at 12 o'clock but on the manual it says -10db and lime level at 0db. i figure its all relative with you being able to control the overall level and drive levels but i wanted to know what the better of the two options was, as well as get a little insight as to when i should emplore either setting. Again sorry!

No, your title shoulda been, ' I have a question... We see far nuttier than that in here daily

You are correct. Instrument level is your choice if you are driving stomps with it though...

If it were me, I would put the stomps in front so if you need a DI you canget your effects into the mighty fine one in your Para DI. The PD is my fav Tech21 piece by far... I used one - a pair actually for a long time.

you can edit your thread title i believe...

+1 to it being at instrument level when it's out front like that; if you use the amp's effects return or just use a power amp (the way i run my BDDI) set it to line level. i keep the XLR at instrument level, no need to peak out the mic pre on the FOH board.

+1 also to running it at the end, so you could use it direct if you needed and still have all your other pedals in the mix.
