Hi,

I recently bought an English Muffin & a Wiggler pedal. Overall I am enjoying them thoroughly. But I am having a confusing problem. So the goal is to have my volume more or less equal regardless of which (if any) pedal is on. So at home I set my clean volume and then I put the English Muffin & Wiggler around 1/4 of the way up on the volume nob & 3/4 of the way up on my gain & intensity knobs. This achieves the perfect result.

However every time I set up on the stage using these same settings, I put the clean sound where I want it and the overdrive and wiggler always need to be cranked way up. I can’t figure out what’s going on here. I would understand if I just need to be louder in general for a noisy bar but the issue is the volume level of my pedals in comparison to that of my clean sound, they seem to be totally out of whack from what they were at our practice space.

I know a simple solution is just crank up the volume knobs on your pedals for your shows. But I’d still like to understand what’s going on with the acoustics of this situation.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
