Hello. This is my first post. My name is Andrew, I have been a regular at the Seymour Duncan forum for about 4 years (under user name Andrew Lamprecht).
I picked up a slightly beat up Mesa Boogie MkII for $500 about 4 months ago. I love the amp but the one thing I really don't like is the massive jump in volume when I have the volume on the clean channel all the way up. I keep the gain on the lead channel pretty low and the clean volume high, it gives me a nice sustained overdrive that I really like. however, having the clean volume up all the way makes it a bit difficult to switch back and forth between channels. I was a Fender amp guy and really like the clean channel of this amp... I would like to utilize it if I could but I really need the lead channel. :mrgreen:
Are there any mods I could do that would help this? I don't know much about amps so I have no clue. Someone on the Les Paul forum said to put a volume pedal in the effects loop, again, I don't know much about amps so I don't know if this would work and I don't want to spend money if it won't work (I'm a college student).
Sorry if I said something stupid but even after a few months I am still working on getting how the knobs work straightened out. :mrgreen: This is my first Mesa... any help would be greatly appreciated... thanks guys!
