Members LeamStrat_UK Posted November 12, 2017 Members Share Posted November 12, 2017 I understand that drive pedals 'push' the amp, so to optimise this should the amp's channel volume be set low and the Master volume high or vice versa? (Assuming a valve amp of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members t_e_l_e Posted November 12, 2017 Members Share Posted November 12, 2017 it all depends... on the amp, on the sound you are after, what pedals you use/have or want to get, it all depends... and there is no best which fits all... i have a sovtek midget 50h head, 50watt, bassman like, low and high input if i want ultra clean sound and all my dirt from my pedals, i use the low input, gain below 12 o'clock, master too match needed volume if i want dirt only sound, i use high input, gain above 12 o'clock and i'm in marshall like heaven my favourite setting is high input, gain just above 0, master matching volume, then i have a gritty clean sound, once i push my lpb1 booster in front i'm in mild overdrive, together with ts-9 i rawk, any high gain or fuzz pedal work also great for anything else only downside with this: with a looper in front, every overdub loop loads the input of the amp more, and after the 3rd loop it becomes overdriven mud... looping needs a more clean setting.... so it all depends, ah and have i told you i play stereo with a complete different second amp?
