Input Volume - Bias FX2, iPad, Focusrite 2i2

[johndagostino]

I am struggling with Bias FX2 in my iPad via the Focusrite 2i2 interface. Everything is working, per se, but I am not getting the input volume I'd expect.

With the 2i2 gain set such that I am getting the green indicator with hard strums (just below the yellow warning indicator), I am only seeing Bias' Input Volume meter hit -12 to -10. That's with the input volume slider all the way up.

My understanding is that I should be striving for 0db on the input volume meter. But to get that I have to turn the interface gain way up to the point where it is clipping (ie - red).

My guitar is a Fender American Ultra Strat with single coil pickups.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance, John
