If your source isn't loud enough you can boost it.

On the fuller models of Scarletts, the instrument input isn't separate like that, it's combined with mic inputs so obviously has the gain control.

It seems on the Solo version they're indicating it's used for guitar or bass only. They could have omitted the gain control but what if someone wants to record a quiet source that needs boosting? It definitely doesn't cause any harm being there even if you don't need it.

I did try using the Zoom B3 but I just like the simplicity of the Solo plus it has a mic input. My zoom is also the older model (not sure if that will make a difference) Also, I record in 24bit my zoom records in 16bit

Thanks for all your input...I will work it out

Is the problem you're having that when you record using the method you described, there is some of the Zoom effects on the recorded track even though it should be dry?
