In order to make my MM HD410 sound really clean when using the bridge pickup on my Telecaster and using a wah-wah, I have to keep the preamp volume pot on not much higher than 1. In "normal" conditions when using a softer sound from my guitar it stays clean up until 4-5. Is this normal, or should there be more headroom? | ||

A troubleshooting Method. Remove the wah-pedal. Use your settings, and Master vol on 10. Reverb / trem off and zeroed. Still getting distortion at Gain > 1? No: R/R pedal. Try switching cables. Still getting distortion at Gain > 1? No: R/R cables. Try switching guitars. Still getting distortion at Gain > 1? No: It's a guitar problem. Set tone: Treble(6), Mid(4), Bass(3). Still getting distortion at Gain > 1? No: Use the above tone settings. Re-do last test using other channel, then re-do again using input # 2. Distortion audible at all speakers? No: Isolate suspect speakers. If still getting distortion at Gain > 1, it's time to see your neighborhood amp tech. Hope this helps. |
