I just did another test.

I wanted to A/B the tweak and no tweak instantly.

So the closest way to do that easily was

Set my mains +2.5dB (i.e. not LevelPerfect but still very close) and compare that in Direct Preset mode on G68 with Transporter on D2 (Direct Wired).

This way I don't have to worry about level differences messing with my head so much as it's only 0.5dB apart now.

Very close sounding !! I only tested a little (wifes having a fit).

So I'm thinking that the more you offset negatively (away from +3dB) the more harm it does. It doesn't appear to be all or nothing at +3dB as I first thought. Or who knows maybe it's when you cross 0 or something. Not sure.

I'm still leaving the tweak at +3dB in front though.

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
