PAB boost too loud on clean and virtually nothing on OD

Post by peckjed »

Hey all! As the title says - on the clean ch the PAB is pretty drastic (sounds quite good), but when I activate the PAB with the OD ch also engaged the PAB does pretty much nothing. Is this normal? Any way to lessen the boost on clean ch?

The PAB will have less of an effect dependent on the tone control settings. I also find that it has less impact between the OD and clean but it is all dependent on the drive/level and tone controls. You should still hear a difference with he OD on though. If you turn the TMB to minimum does the PAB have a bigger impact in OD?

Turning the TMB down made the PAB act as I would have expected in the OD channel. Now I feel like an idiot - thanks for the help!
