I know, it's weird! When the muff is in front of the pre-amp, I can get a million variations of this harsh, crackly, speaker-distortion type of sound, which destroys my tone entirely, and ruins the sustain and reactivity of my guitar. With the muff in the loop, I get a nice volume boost and a...

Sounds like either a **** good article, or you guys both work for guitar player. I'll check it out, thanks for your input :-)

I would say that it is a fine-tuning of my tone, but absolutely essential. The difference shouldn't jump out at you when you play your instrument alone. In rehearsal or live setting, it should "magically" transform your sound from mud in the mix, to a tightly focused, easily discernable tone...

I know the "conventional knowledge" goes distortion > amp. The problem is the Muff sounds GREAT in the loop, and like **** in front of the amp. It's really just an issue of volume changes. I've also tried the comp > distortion > amp trick, which didn't do much for me, although it didn't add...

My DD-3 works really well with my Mark IV. I put it at the end of my loop chain, and it's clear as a bell, no noise, distortion or clipping of any sort. I don't use a noise gate, my keeley comp gives me a pretty noiseless input signal.

I'm looking for input about the sequence of my effects as I'm using them through my Mark IV. Let me know if you have any suggestions or specific experience with this equipment. I looked through the "post your pedal board" topic, but most don't list sequence of effects. Guitar >> Keeley...

I agree, the Mark IV sounds amazing on its own. That's the whole point of a Mark IV, right? But the big muff sounds pretty sweet too, if you know how to use it. You can't build a unique sound with one piece of equipment, no matter how versatile you think your boogie might be. Throwing a...

Hey Gang, I run a big muff in the effects loop of my Mark IV. I know it's supposed to be a preamp effect but I put it in the loop so it won't distort my delay, and I get more of the amp's delicious character in the tone this way. At low amp volumes, the big muff gives a nice boost and some...
