Good multi-fx processor for tube amp...

I had the same problem with my gt6.

I had the same problem with my gt6.

Were you ever able to fix it?

[fr0sty]

No, I sold it. I was able to match volumes levels ok but there was a noticable change in tone that I couldn't, or wouldn't spend the time to, tweak out.

what amp?

[fr0sty]

It's the amp in my sig. Peters Dual Channel. It sounded fine with my Peavey Triumph. Go figure...

With many floor and desktop processors, you have to be careful about driving them too much, mainly because they were not designed to take such a hot signal, which is what I'm guessing is happening with some of you guys. I know that, cause if I run my J-Station through the loop of my amp, and have the dirty channel past 3-1/2, I can hear the tone suck begin to happen (At this point, it is running in DIRECT mode, and all amp sims are bypassed, just allowing the use of the effects). The signal begins to get muddied. What I'm doing is pushing the signal level too hard into the J-Station, which was not made for the higher level that it's getting (designed for instrument level signals). What I CAN do is drop the level, using the eq that's before my J-Station. I know from using the J-Station that I can gain that level drop back, in my individual patch level adjustments, and I ultimately use the master level on the J-Station as a sort of master volume. So far, by doing this, I've managed to run my amp up half way, to 5, with no tone suck. Didn't get any farther, only cause the gig didn't call for it. But, so long as I watch my level going into the processor, my tone stays crisp and clean. A line level shifter may do the trick, as well.
