TH3 and Guitar Rig 5, volume/gain between components

[Robert Bone]

Hi - not a guitar player. How can I measure input gain and output volume of each effect within a given preset of either TH3 or Guitar Rig 5 Pro? 

A friend sent me a project with 2 lead tracks of guitar, that each add about 20 dB to the signal in each track, (one has TH3 and the other uses Guitar Rig 5 Pro),  from boosting levels from several of the preset components going through the amp modeling software.

I don't know enough about crafting guitar sounds to do anything other than just lop levels coming out of each component - so is there some kind of sensible approach to keeping things gain-neutral between those components?

Thanks,

No access point inside a VST.  The only recourse is the Output Level knob.

Thanks, that's what I figured, other than blindly cutting levels out of each component in the effects chain......
