Re: Distortion v. Overdrive, Sustain v. Feedback
Thanks for the S&S... :D Anyway, back to this topic, overdrive occurs whenever the input of a network is greater than the network can handle, whether it occurs in the preamp or power amp section. When you turn the amp's volume (master) up, the best sound IMHO, you will couple some power amp colorat...

Re: Distortion v. Overdrive, Sustain v. Feedback
From my experience it's mostly the mid to high mid frequencies which create feedback. Comparing the Hot Cat to the ODS the HotCat has a more mid scooped sound due to the Voxy tonestack. The ODS on the other hand is very midrangy (esp. the non HRM models). Try to set the tone controls on the HotCat ...

Sustain, distortion, and overdrive
Hi, all, I've got a Hot Cat 30, which has a pretty nice clean channel and good distortion on the overdrive channel. But it is a little less "organic" sounding than I'd like...I like to hear the string itself, rather than just the amp. So I end up turning the gain way down on the overdrive channel. I...
