I have tried what Strato does with his controls on his amp: Keep them flat!!
Did this on the Twin, and then plugged in a DS-1. By doing this you get even more tonal varieties. Some sounded straight ugly, some were fine. Overal the "Keep controls on Amp flat" gives you that: Play- through-telephone-sound. So great for special effects.
Okay, it may be the Twin, it may be that this amp is fine when you use your controls, so just get great sound from amp, and then add some pedals. Some amps will react differently to this.
When you use a dedicated preamp, like a Sansamp, then it may be more important to keep your ampcontrols down a little, but still, I find that with moderate settings on the amps the pedals still work fine.
As what other have discovered, it sometimes puzzles me that one pedal will sound fine through one amp, and no so good through another one.
Okay there are too many variations to go into, and sometimes I feel we are all talking about the same thing and trying to discover the wheel again, all of this may be due to the fact when you own a lot of gear you may feel to need to experiment and try. Also what you tried 6 months ago, will be old by now, so you will never get to the nity grity. Nice or just plain crazy? Well I guess we all know eh?!!
Right I have done some Overdrive tests, will open up new thread for that, and then there is the screw-in-control-knob question which would need a new thread as well.
We will just keep going as there is plenty more to discover. |
