So the ADC is saturating (using maximum or minimum integer that it can encode), and then the Scarlett’s firmware probably notices that it has “too many” such saturated samples in a row, and as a consequence it lights up the ring to warn you… that part seems reasonable. So, what does “turn red” mean? It looks like there is a pot that is used for analog gain, and then it likely goes to an ADC. I have the opposite problem than you, my guitars are so hot (they all have opamps inside via EMG active pickups) that they saturate the inputs on my wireless, my Axe-FX, whatever.Īh, I see: You send your guitar to the Scarlett device, and its input turns red. What model of equipment are you using? It almost sounds like you want some boost, and there are pedals that do it, as well as in-guitar devices like Over here you might be losing a few bits of signal if your output isn’t hot enough, but it probably won’t matter if it’s calibrated appropriately (so the “virtual amp” knows if it is being “overdriven”). The next step is that the signal goes to an ADC (analog-to-digital converter). In general you’d use a DI for pro audio, as they want to keep noise down and like differential. As you know (being a physicist), differential encoding is really smart because it is immune to common-mode noise, but guitars are badly designed regarding electronics. ![]() A DI is an analog device that will give you a differential signal (three wires, where one is ground and two are differential, it does this by means of a transformer). ![]() Your guitar is an analog device that has one ground and one signal that varies. I’m not sure that I understand the problem.
