OK, tried to get a decent sound via a PA and all my attempts so far it's very clippy/distorted.
Admitedly I've not had much of a go, but I tried at our rehearsal room and started with very little signal and then the clippy/distorted sound - definitely not eq-able.
It was set to line input. There is a possibility that the channel was faulty but...
I don't have easy access to a PA so have tried to use my mini mixer ( spirit notepad) through headphones and get the same result. Note I don't think I can change the input to line but it has adjustable gain. Will it work trying to use the mini mixer?
When I bought it ( second hand) the chap plugged into a monitor to demo and it sounded fine so I know it's OK, although not sure what output he used though. I've not changed anything much since then..
I did what paults suggested and turned the output to -20db.
So, some questions:
1) Anything obvious I'm not doing right?
2) Any easy way to test it at home?? I'll try to get a powered monitor.
3) Should using monitor or main make much difference to the basic sound ( I am getting the same result)
BTW I have read the manual
I know this is user error and wonder if it's just a comedy of errors....duff channel and wrong type of input on the mini mixer??
