Topic: Valve Amp with EQ pedal Help!!!!!!!
Hi,
Hi,
To keep it short lol, I have an EVH Lunchbox running through a Marshall 1 X 12" cab. The amp sound is great, the only problem is the amp has two channels but only one volume control for both channels combined.
Being in a six piece band, sometimes we play gigs with just a vocal PA, and not the full rig. This is when i get into problems with lifting the overall volume of my lead guitar sections over the rest of the band. I've just bought a Blackstar LT drive as i intend to use only one channel on the amp, and a little overdrive always helps for lead passages, also i've bought a EQ pedal, which i hoped would lift the volume of the solo's using the main slider on the right with the 15db lift. I use both units in my line before the amp, neither gives any volume lift whatsoever.
They do give a volume lift in the effects loop, and also running into a solid state amp. Does this mean my valve amp is defective, or is this the norm for using these units into the effect chain before the amp?
Any help would be really appreciated
