Hello; this is my first post; I'm Sergio, I'm Italian and I recently purchased a Floor Mustang.
I come from a Digitech RP1000, great pedalboard, but I've found the Floor Mustang far superior on the clean sounds.
My question is:
I use the Mustang directly in a RCF art310a monitor (and then I go to the mixer); this kind of monitor has an input selector "line 0dbu" - "mic -40dbu". Until today I used to use, with the RP1000, the "line 0dbu", but with the Floor Mustang the volume is very low; is it correct to use the "mic -40dbu" with a pedalboard? Thank you.

Have you tried adjusting the 'Level' control on the backpanel?

(If you don't know what I mean, this is covered in the "Getting Started" sections of both the Quick Start and Advanced manuals for the Mustang Floor)

Yes, tried; but the volume is low, if compared to the volume of the RP1000. If I switch to -40dbu the volume is more than enough, but I wonder if it is a correct setting.
Thank you

My understanding is that if the Level knob is at "12 o'clock" then the Floor is at unity gain - ie the output level is the same as the input guitar level.

So, plug your guitar directly into your monitor and see what setting on the monitor gives satisfactory volume.

Then use that same setting on the monitor with the Mustang Floor, and fine-tune with the Level knob around the "12 o'clock" position.
