I need some help with settings.

I am running music from my computer into the floor through the auxiliary and then into a fender pro junior.

I am having some trouble getting the sound that I am looking for. How should the settings on the floor be adjusted to make this work?

All help is much appreciated. Thank you!

It might help if you can define exactly what is the sound you are looking for? There are lots of settings on the M-Floor that will give lots of different sounds. Without knowing which sound you actually want, it's hard to know what to suggest.

I just put a new rajin cajun in my pro junior. It does not have an auxiliary plug on it so I am trying to run my backing music through the Floor into it through the guitar cable.
I need to know the best setting to use on the Floor because so far I can't get a good clear sound.

If I understand correctly, you're trying to use the M-Floor and your Blues Junior as a straightforward "clean" amplifier for a backing track, with no effects or colouration of the sound?

Further, I assume (you don't actually say) that you also have a guitar plugged into the M-Floor to play through the Blues Junior too, in conjunction with the backing track.

The M-Floor's modelling, effects, settings, parameters, etc, only apply to the signal coming into the guitar input of the M-Floor. None of them affect the sound that's coming into the aux socket. The aux sound is passed straight through to the output of the M-Floor.

So changing any of the M-Floor's settings will have no effect on the sound from the aux socket.

Any colouration of the backing track sound is almost certainly coming from the Blues Junior amp. The Blues Junior (or any guitar amp) will modify the tone of the sound - it is after all designed as a guitar amp, and deliberately colours the sound for that purpose, not as a FRFR hi-fi amp. So your backing track, played through the Blues Junior, is never going to sound the same as when you listen through headphones or via hi-fi speakers. This is probably the main/only reason it doesn't sound the way you're expecting.

One thing worth checking, adjust the output level of the M-Floor with the knob on the back, so that you don't overdrive the Blues Junior input.

Thank you Scott.

I believe that you hit the nail on the head. I have decided for now to run my backing music through one amp and play my junior in conjunction with it. I think that it just colored the sound too much.

Hi bubbablues,

Scott-uk has offered some very good information. We would further suggest that you use one of the Combo output Voice settings. Additionally, the Aux in source as scott-uk noted is not affected by any DSP in the unit. So you may want to EQ that source as it comes into your Mustang Floor. Please let us know if we can help further from our end.
