crag42 Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Hi Guy's I'm a bassist of many years but just started trying out effects pedals now.... So i have a question... I have bought an overdrive pedal and used it for 1st time last week in rehearsal... it sounded great only problem i had was..... when i kicked in the pedal the volume through my amp increased quite a lot from clean to effects...... why is that and how do you combat it?.... I must stress i know nothing about pedals and workings of them...... so if it's plainly obvious i still wouldnt have a clue...lol.... Also i just plugged in and played.... hence not really studied the instructions Any help much appreciated guys Craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose an overdriven sound would typically be louder than a clean one but it's up to you. Edited September 13, 2010 by D2TS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stylon Pilson Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 Assuming you are talking about the Ibanez PD7, you need to turn the knob marked "Level" (the rightmost one) to the left. You'll need to experiment a little to find the setting that gives you the desired result. S.P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
