Hi guys, just got a bluesbreaker 2 pedal and I'm using it thru a peavey 6505 amp.
What does this mean, its from the manual?
"On clean channels it is advisable to set the gain (or volume)
to a setting of no less than one quarter maximum so as not to
get unrealistic results due to any volume dependent tonal
shaping on the amplifier preamp."
Cheers

Re: Help with Bluesbreaker pedal?
I'm not sure, but i'm guessing that the pre-amp section of an amp is designed to cope with a typical range of input levels straight from a guitar. Any tone shaping done by the pre-amp will be designed round those input levels. Go way above those levels and all sorts of tonal issues / discrepancies etc can happen.
Later .... Difficult to be sure what I was saying and difficult to explain. I had a trawl of the internet and found an article that tries to talk about the issue in general. It sort of says the same thing as I thought but in more depth and explains it better. Rather than pass off that knowledge as my own here's the link:-

Hope it helps!
