Help with Direct Thru Presonus Studiolive III

So, we have a new Studiolive III 16. Yesterday's rehearsal was the first time for me going direct through it. Walked in, unpacked my bass and cable and plugged into one the high-z channels already configured for me.

Quite nice as it beats hauling the Ampeg.

However, it sounded weak and I was using my Kiesel with active preamp.

So is anyone familiar with this mixer that can tell me where to find the PAD settings for my channel?

I found the limiter and it was engaged, but that should just cut my peaks which probably was not happening.
