happy holidays to all,
Hi, just a few questions,comments from a relativley unschooled, amp user. I hope someone could make a few suggestions and comments. i have a charcoal k-150 combo that I am using for jam practice. the sound is really sweet, to me anyhow, and was just wondering if I am using my effects to their best capabilities. I am running a cheap fender dist. box, soon to be replaced, into an Electro-harmonix english muffin tube pre amp pedal, then into the left side lower input jack on the amp.This set up lets me get a warmer tube sound but also a smoother driven sound with out too much squeal that a SS amp emulating a valve amp can make.A few questions, am I best off turning the Muffin up all the way and adjust the volume on the amp to the desired level or would it be better to lower the volume on the pedals and turn the amp up? Is anyone else us using a tube pedal to "warm" up their Kustom? Any recommendations on a dist. pedal that works best with a Kustom amp? Any info appreciated for sure. Thanks, Rick
