Soft guitar attack is muffled, like a volume swell

After playing with my new KPA for the last few days, I noticed that it felt like there was some latency happening. I'm running it into my RME Fireface 800, which feeds Logic 9 on my MacPro.

After noodling around a bit more, I realized that when I attack the guitar softly, the sound comes out as if there's a filter, or volume pedal swelling up, as the attack is very soft. It almost sounds like a wah-wah. I tried numerous rig presets by numerous authors and found this to be the case no matter what preset I'm on.

I have attached a link below to a small audio sample if you're interested in hearing this. FYI, I'm playing a Strat with the neck pickup, running thru a Mogami instrument cable, and the KPA preset is "GT 75 Scream 6L6" by B Dinnies. The master volume is at 10, and the preset's volume is at -1.7db.

Again, this is just the preset I recorded, but this was happening with any one I selected- not just the one above. Anyone else dealing with this?

The "noise gate" was turned way up...
I didn't realize that it stayed at the position I put it even after I change presets. Problem solved!

Thanks for the info!
