    Ive noticed this before but i think its gotten worse, or im gettin paranoid about it... maybe both. but when i use the pedal theres a volume drop in the sound

    I use it in the fx loop on a Marshall TSL100 and the fx loop is on 10 so its a full wet signal, but still a volume drop


    It's mostly if not only on the tremolo arm setting it goes down a db or 2


    But there is an effect mix knob on it that controll how much of the effect you want

    I can edit the volume pretty much with that knob

    So..

    on the other settings its usually on 1 o clock even when tis not on so there is no boost/cut when the effect is on for example a harmony setting..

    so the volumes fine


    but on the tremolo arm setting theres a drop when the pedals on and when its off it takes about 3 seconds to return to the original volume...




    anyone have the pedal or similer problems or know how to solve this melarky??? :confused:

    I'll have to check mine when I get back to Dublin, I only really use the harmonist setting on it so I haven't noticed any problems with the tremolo arm setting. Never had any bother with mine.

    Did you try it going straight into the front of the amp?

    yep works fine, but the harmony settings work great on the fx loop

    on the harmony setting, I leave the effect level (volume) at half so i get my original sound + the new one, pretty evenly

    But the other settings on the amp work well infront of the amp, =/

    ui found this on harmony central, the guy has the same amp too, and i tired what he suggested but still to no avail



    But, you must use a valve amps gain, so you have to put this in a loop. I use a Marshall Tsl 100 head for live with a 1960A cab, and a JCM600 1x12 combo when I practice. I love the gain I get from both amps, and therefore, this effect should be in the effects loop. BUT< TO avoid the horrid volume drop, set your loop to series, or , like on the TSL, turn your parallel loop level all of the way up. NOW<<<<<YOU CAN USE THIS PEDAL IN THE EFFECTS loop and use the awesome gain of your amp, and there will be NO VOLUME DROP.
