Hello all,
I bought the new Express 550 last month and I have a gain question for all of you. When the master volume is low say anywhere between 7 oclock and 9 oclock my gain is very heavy and saturated the way that I like it. But when I turn the volume up to say 10 or 11 oclock I lose alot of the gain. In the manual it said that this is normal. The manual says that if you want a tighter puncher sound turn the master up and if you want a saturated thick gain keep the master turned low. Which is fine. Is this normal of most Mesa amps? And if so how can I adjust my amp so that I can mantain the heavy gain at higher volumes. Say as if i wanted to gig with it?
