Low Input On Amp Sims

TH1 has an input level adjuster so I can test my input, but the problem is that it's low. [Here a pic of what it looks like ] I can't seem to reach the green part. I have an EM-U 1212m soundcard, so I tried adjusting the volume in Patchmix, but it doesn't seem to help. Guitar volume is on max and it's on the bridge position. My setup: Ibanez RG 1570 (with Dimarzio evolution pickups) -> di-box behringer DI-100 --> stereo cable -> EM-U 1212m I am quite noob at this, so can anyone help?

Because my other cable is damaged and that's the only thing I could temporarily replace it with. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Is the volume down there man? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content! Don't miss today's free blues, jazz & country licks.

You are wright mate.The picture example just bust up playback sound,not actual recording volume.I control that option trough my pre amp.I think you need pe amp for louder signal,couse I think that E-Mu douse not have her own pre amps.

You just have to have some hardware preamp... I'm going through my Boss MT-2 if I want to record something. Just turn a distortion off and it will serve as a preamp You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

Then I went to a friend to borrow his HM-2 pedal. So I plugged everything in and it worked! (like utak3r suggested) Thanks alot Nemanja, utak3r and Ivan appreciate it! >edit: ops miss spelled Namanja's name sry You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
