noisepunk3MemberQuote:It sounds to me like your amp is just running out of headroom, so the volume of the pedal is just creating more distortion and compression. If it works fine with lower volumes on the amp then it doesn’t sound like there is anything wrong with the pedal.
Okay, so this sounds like the same issue I may be having with mine. Works fine on it’s own, works fine when the amp is at lower volume, but when I’m using it on stage in my board… volume drop…
So here’s my question (since my question in it’s own thread about modding the pedal yielded nothing on that; funny to me considering big-muff clones don’t have an issue, you’d think someone would’ve figured out how to integrate that aspect of the clone circuit into the standard circuit), or two questions… 1) why don’t other fuzzes, specifically things like the hoof, also do this? 2) how do you get your big muff and/or amp to not do this?
noisepunk3MemberI’m not sure about pickups, but i’ve used it with a number of different guitars I own or have borrowed and the issue doesn’t change.
It also does the same thing with or without other pickups around it; however I have noticed it’s much easier to balance it out with the amp when I don’t have anything else running, though I usually need to turn the amp down pretty low.
noisepunk3MemberI guess I’ll have to get a volt meter and do some trouble shooting. Thanks.
noisepunk3MemberThat’s very possible, I bought it used; however I had the same issue with my Russian- though not as severe- which was brand new, and I’ve also heard this is a common out of box problem with this model, one of the supposed pluses to something like a hoof.
What do you think could be wrong with it?
noisepunk3MemberI know about the mid scoop, but that’s not what I’m talking about, it’s not just in a band setting that this is happening and it’s a very noticeable drop in volume. Not only that, but I shouldn’t have to keep my pedal at 10 to have it equalized with the rest of my rig.
noisepunk3MemberI guess you could say that; I use the same setup playing at home/by myself as I do playing in a band.
noisepunk3MemberThank you for the suggestion, but I’ve already thought about it; with the exception of a few guitars I own, I like to keep the tone just past 12:00, so a tone bypass would really screw up my sound.
