Monitoring output level of amp module

Postby sesuwuqo » Mon Apr 20, 2020 11:14 am

Hello.
What's the best way to monitor the output level of an amp module? The rack module has level meters at the output of every device in the rack...so I suppose you can make sure there is an empty rack unit and use the meter there as an "amp output" level meter. But it sure would be handy to be able to view the output level of the amp module while you're working on the amp module itself.
Thanks.

I don't know how much this helps, but .... If I am just messing around in the standalone app, I just ensure that nothing seems to be clipping horribly (especially on the output) and leave it at that. If I am recording/mixing in a DAW, then I put a metering/gain plugin after the AmpliTube plugin, and adjust (usually dial-down!) the output from AmpliTube to something the metering shows as reasonable (e.g. wavering around -18 dBFS).
