      Has anyone ever encountered problems that sounds like "Input Saturation" with humbuckers or P90 guitar pickups ?
      If yes, how did you manage this problem ? I've heard about playing with the guitar volume knob, but this seems not "natural" to me...

      Thanks in advance for your advices !

        @serge-cattoul Did you mean the gain stage might be changed while using humbucker or P90 guitars? Feel free to PM or drop me a line.

          Hello Felix,

          That may be the case...
          Sometime I've got strange noises in the sound, that disappear when I decrease the guitar signal with the volume potentiometer.
          My guitar is equiped with Seymour Duncan Phat Cat P90 (https://www.seymourduncan.com/pickup/phat-cat-set).

            Sounds like you need to reduce input level on your interface. With my Full Shred, I set it at 3 at most. Also, you might have electrical line or WiFi noise that is obvious when on a gainy patch. I do. Heavier gating can help, but will squelch your tone.
