Play your guitar through the armed track or play back a previously recorded track. Watch the INPUT LED while you
adjust the output volume on the recording device. The LED should turn to yellow when the strings are struck hard,
but no further. This is all you need to do, so long as the Rig you are reamping has no distorting amp or effect in the
signal flow.
If you reamp a distorting Rig, you might notice that the amount of distortion still differs from the original, despite
following the above procedure. This is a natural consequence of the correct leveling of input and output: the leveling
is made to achieve an optimum signal-to-noise ratio but does not deal with the preservation of the original instrument
level. This is what the parameter "Reamp Sens" is for - simply dial the desired amount of distortion via "Reamp
Sens" - and you're all set!
Summary
For correct leveling and reproduction of a distorted Rig with a reamped instrument, two level settings must be
performed: the absolute reamp level at the recording device and the amount of distortion by "Reamp Sens". For
clean sounding Rigs, only the absolute reamp level is necessary.

Alternative Procedure for Input Leveling

The original
"Clean
Sens" leveling from step two, and the final leveling of "Reamp Sens" have a kind of opposite
relationship that can be used for easier and safer leveling, under two conditions:
The Rig in question is a distorting one.
You have memorized the original "Clean Sens" setting used to record the pure instrument.
First, set "Reamp Sens" to the opposite value of the original "Clean Sens" setting (e.g. 2.0 dB, when "Clean Sens"
was -2.0 dB). Now, level the desired amount of distortion by adjusting the output volume on the recording device.
Once this is done, you will have found the correct input level by default. There is no need to watch the INPUT LED
with this procedure.
