my housemate has bought one a few days ago and with the gain up FULL the most distortion it gets is like a hard blues sort of breakup
and thats even using my mahogany LP with the miracle man with it
ive asked a few other people and they say it probably needs revalving as theyre sure it should be a lot higher gain than that.
-
Is it the normal one or the DSP one?
The normal one has been discontinued now - Not so normal anymore :p

well surely whether its DSP or original it should definitely be much higher than blues gain i should think....

+1.
I was just wondering :p
-
I'm pretty sure this was named the nu metal amp so it sounds like some maintenance is needed.
-
No, it's just on channel A :roll:
-
I had a Ashdown FA60DSP half stack and it had no gain, exactly the same thing your housemate experienced. Does he also find lack of definition with the amp? Mine was all bassy and had no bite to the sound at all.
Using the effect return control on the back you can sorta increase the gain but it was still shitee.
-
Seriously, the sound he is describing is channel 1 with the gain all the way up.
-
no i have tried the amp myself on both channels and it really doesnt have much gain but it does have good definition and its the old fa60 without dsp
-

and he isnta retard and neither am i.

i'll give him the benefit of the doubt... you however ... :roll: lol .. kidding aside
check the tubes, and if they got a nice orange glow to them. he probably needs new tubes and a bias. get all the connections checked out to be sure too

Are you changing using the pedal or the amp?

Just don't let them know who I am ok?
Also, I've had the damn thing on for about an hour now, on a reasonably low volume, so can't expect too much gain, but I have a considerable amount and my valves are glowing orange. They'd probably be bright if that light wasn't there though (The VU metre in the amp has a light which lights up all insides too lol.)
and to the other dude, I know the difference between channels. Cheers for patronising me though, much appreciated.
Cheers to everyone here.

I'm not trying to be patronising, it's just he perfectly described what channel 1 with maximum gain sounds like. A) the amp switch and pedal have to be set up just right initially else the pedal doesn't work properly, B) if your last amp was a single channel Laney, it would be an easy mistake to make. How low are you playing at? It needs to be 3-4 or more to come alive, otherwise it just sounds flat and muddy, without much gain.

It's all good, my last amp as a pos crate gt1200h, which I only got cause it was cheap as chips.
I've basically got it sorted out now, my footpedal is just the one from the crate, and only switched between channel 1 and 2, but i've rewired it to change channels with 1 switch, turn boost on and off with 2nd switch and switch master volumes with 3rd. and I've got gain sorted.
-
So yours is sorted now? :? Mine must have been a real dud or it could be that the new ones are cr@p. I was glad to see the back of it in any case.
-
yeah, all seems fine now lol. I'm gonna get a tubescreamer anyway. TS808 or TS9.
I'll post a clip tomorrow, when I become alive lol.

apparently the DSP on them takes a lot out of the tone for some reason.
-
so... in effect the guy who was 'patronising' you, was correct?
amazing.
-

not exactly it was on channel 2 which is the distortion channel.
there was just a boost function to add that bit more gain
the guy said that it was on channel 1.
-
so... in effect the guy who was 'patronising' you, was correct?
amazing.
And also I've got more gain out of the non boosted Channel 2.

Um, well if you are then I guess there's no harm done. But how do I know that when I get to your house your other personality that isn't a transvestite is there and turns me away? :S
