Hi there,
I currently am using an early-edition (no stripe, larger transformer) Mk III head, which was re-tubed with 6L6s and EL34s within the last 6 months.
When I get a really great distorted tone dialed in, it's not loud enough to be heard over the drummer. How can I get the distorted sound I crave and get the durn thing to be loud enough? When I try to boost the volume by altering any of the volume knobs, the tone degrades. I've tried it in both modes, Class A and SimulClass... same issue.
Any advice helpful... I probably don't quite have a good understanding of what knob does what in the signal chain...
Additionally, I have difficulty getting the lead channel volume to balance with the clean channel--most often the clean channel is much, much louder than the lead channel, which can cause a nasty surprise for the soundman.
thanks!
