Hey Guys
Can I ask for some advice about pre-amp tubes. The one thing I don't like about my Boogie DC5 is the huge difference in gain between the rhythm and lead channels. I would like a bit more gain in the rhythm channel to give a more crunchy breakup (there is the pull boost option but I find it really harsh and it loses the nice clean tones) and also less gain in the lead channel for more of a bluesy solo sound rather than the full on Metallica type sound which the lead channel seems to give at even moderate gain settings.
As there are seperate sets of pre-amp tubes, is there suggest a way I can tailor the sound more to my requirements. At the moment I use a Fulldrive type pedal with boost on the rhythm channel and don't use the lead channel much. I also find the lead channel sounds pretty mushy unless you really crank the Master volume by which time is is way too loud even in band practice. I play mostly classic rock and a bit of bluesy stuff so like the edge of breakup type tone that is the one thing my old 100 watt Superlead Marshall does really well, but I was hoping for a bit more flexibility from the Boogie !.
