All of this relates to the Reeder Mod. I'm pretty new to the forum, but have picked up so many great tips from alot of you guys....thanks, I appreciate it.
On to the Mod. From the description of some of the post's submitted as improvements to the mod....... e.g. "Everything just seems clearer. Glassier, woodier, more real and alive. And now I get that same addictive feeling from Channel 2 that I always got from Channel 1".
"Getting results as described. Pretty much a ch 1 clone but when you add gain or drive, the compression or darkness isn't there. You still get all the 3D spank, sparkle and chime if you want it only with the amount of gain, grit, balls that you choose".
Holy S@#t!!!!!!! I did the Reeder Mod today and it's amazing how open and lush it makes channel two with the drive engaged. The distortion is very articulate"
Well, I took my amp in to my tech, gave him all of the instructions from Charles' post, and anxiously waited for my amp to return. I didn't try it out at the shop (as I should have), but took it directly to the gig we had last night..................well my problem is that I wasn't able to get ANY distortion....at all! Channel 1 seemed fine, but when I kicked in Channel 2 all I got was this terrible "boost" kind of sound..... kind of an ugly mid boost. I thought ok, I need to do some tweaking to get some distortion out of it. No matter where I set my drive, gain, anything, I was unable to get any type of distortion from it. The only other thing I noticed was that the "green" light (on my amp) came on for channel 1, and go off when I switched to channel 2. So 2 things (or maybe a little of both) 1....I'm a complete idiot, and I'm missing something with setting it up (knobs) or, my tech did something wrong......So, can someone give me any hints as to what's going on? I haven't had the amp all that long, but certainly know how to typically set up channel 2 for overdrive/distortion.....thanks in advance to any help, and sorry the post is so long
