I bought this unit to use 'live' primarilly but I was hoping it would sound reasonably good for going straight to the board at home for practicing and scratch recordings. I've owned 2 previous Zoom units that were made specifically for going direct and they both sounded quite good but the 707, even though it has amp simulator circuitry and a choice of line level, still sounds terrible when going direct. Why even bother putting in a choice for line levels if it doesn't sound any better direct to the board when using it? Am I doing something wrong? Does everybody else's 707 sound this bad direct or using headphones? Don't get me wrong; it sounds fine 'live' through an amp which is mostly why I bought it. Thanks.
