Quilter Tone Block 202... direct out from the Signal Out (front panel) into the Stealth Pedal (into the DAW)

That's what I don't get... been using the same interface and Sonar X3 for a decade and never ran into this situation.

Just now, StudioNSFW said:

What is your interface?  Straight into a sound card? If so those are usually mic level. Might be able to change it in the driver maybe...

 

Using the Stealth Pedal by IK Multimedia. I can place the output at -25dB or at 0dB and still get the same results.

Thanks... I went into the interface's menu and reduced the input level completely and I still get the same result.

Running a Quilter amp direct to DAW. With all OTHER gear I can adjust my line levels with the track's slider (as well as the gain knob, etc.). However, with this amp's Signal Out the volume clips easily (using the Signal Out on the amp only provides a difference in level via the Gain knob, and so, if you want a lot of gain you are stuck with a lot of volume). 

This is what is strange. I can lower my track's level to zero, and yet when I play it's still clipping, as though the track's slider did nothing. I can't hear anything, but recording wise it clips like crazy. Lowering the Gain on the track does nothing as well. 

I'm using Sonar X3. I don't think it's set for Mic Level (if it is, no idea how to change it, and it worked with other gear up to this point). Any advice?
