I never had any problems with my DSL50 for 2 years until my friend dropped it big time on the cement.
So I had my amp guy fix it and he did a bunch of whatever to it, and now instead of having a realy great distorted sound, it has an AWESOME clean kind of distortion to it
The best way for me to describe it is this, If you think VH 1, then you know EVH had a more distorted sound than on VH II.
Well now my amp is nailing the Van Halen II album tone as far as the Rytyms, but leads don't have that singing sustain type distortion to them any more.
Before the leads had that, but chords did not sound anywhere near as good as they do now.
Did Eddie use anything differnt on his lead sounds than the Rytyhm sounds.
Is this a normal thing that I'm describing, I mean I know I could switch modes and get the leads to sound like I want on the second channel, but it isn't footswitchable.
Witht the Rytyhm being such a clean type overdrive is it normal that the leads really need something to give them some sustain and saturation? I hope this doesn't sound ridiculous, but I don't know how else to explain it.
