I have a DC-5; it's the second amp I've owned, and it may be the last. I love it to death - love what it does for my Les Paul.
Not too long ago, I tried running my electric-acoustic into the amp. (I usually just use it at home, unplugged.) I can't seem to get a clean sound out of it! The volume coming out of the amp is no louder than my LP, but it sounds like I'm overdriving the tubes?
The guitar has a Fishman pre-amp, but I have it turned down to less than 1/2. I almost got the sound cleaned up by turning the gain on channel one all the way down, and turning up the volume, but it didn't quite work.
Is it possible that I'm actually overdriving the tubes, or is there something wrong with the electronics in the acoustic? :? I appreciate any advice you all can give.
