Members guitarbilly74 Posted September 4, 2012 Members Share Posted September 4, 2012 Ah, that made me think of another scenario. Am I limited to my main gain sound? For instance, how would I go about using a big muff pedal sound instead of my amp drive tones?I understand I could use my clean tone with the big muff, but won't that be an attenuated input signal? it works just fine. I sometimes use my DS-1 for a different distortion sound, I just place the DS-1 before the volume pedal, use the volume pedal to clean up the tone then add the DS-1 on top of the clean tone. It's fine, you're pretty much playing through a clean amp when the volume pedal is up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cliff Fiscal Posted September 4, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 4, 2012 Hmmm....I'll have to experiment with this tonight. I really only need 3 sounds, clean, heavy amp gain, and a muff type tone. So it shouldn't be too hard to figure out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cliff Fiscal Posted September 4, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 4, 2012 okay, another question......The FX loop.....can this be utilized to aid this sort of setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members '63-Strat Posted September 4, 2012 Members Share Posted September 4, 2012 okay, another question......The FX loop.....can this be utilized to aid this sort of setup? FX loop can be a great place for a strictly level boost only for solo's but as it's after your preamp, it's not going to help with going from clean to dirty, no.

Members 100 watt Posted September 4, 2012 Members Share Posted September 4, 2012 I have a Morley Trippler (has a built in boost that comes in handy) if you're interested. Holler at me if ya want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members guitarbilly74 Posted September 4, 2012 Members Share Posted September 4, 2012 okay, another question......The FX loop.....can this be utilized to aid this sort of setup? No this is all in front of the amp. The only thing I have through my loop is the delay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cliff Fiscal Posted September 5, 2012 Author Members Share Posted September 5, 2012 Tried a few things with the line selector. Various boost and drive pedals. My favorite was a Zvex Super Hard On. Next was a Boss EQ. The drive pedals, even at lower settings was meh. It worked as expected, clean to dirty, but it is certainly different. Going to have to mess around with it more at a higher volume. As of right now, I'm not sure its right for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Warhorse Posted September 5, 2012 Members Share Posted September 5, 2012 Just get better with the volume knob man. So much simppler once you get used to it than adding more gear/switches/tone suckers..... I love single chan marshalls and set them up with a heavy ac/dc ish crunch and then boost them. Once i got used to using my volume knob, i can get to clean almost instantly. If you have seperate volumes for the bridge and neck, ser the neck up with the volume way down and just use the toggle. Thats what my other guitarist does with his. That's old school, and that's how i do it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
