I have a series 2 rectoverb and since I cannot always crank it I use my MXR EQ in the loop to cut the volume a bit so I can crank the master on channel 2 (usually vintage). As soon as I get the master above 12:00 it starts to break up in a bad way, i sort of cuts in and out. Could this just be a bad preamp tube, possibley in a later gain stage. Channel 1 does not have this problem even if I max out the master. If it is a bad preamp tube I'm not sure which one to replace. Any ideas?
Rectoverb sounds choppy

Help Support The Boogie Board:
you are overloading the circuit into the loop.
the channel master on these amps acts as loop the send.
I run an MXR 10 band EQ in the loop of mine as well (with great results), but I have to keep the loop level on the amp dimed and the channel master at or below 11:00 or the lights on the EQ will start pulsing and I know I'm overloading the signal to the loop.

*cough* series loop mod *cough* *cough*
I actually have actually done the series loop mod already. I had to do it after I bought my dd-20 and it sounded terrible. Did the mod, works great now. But the other problem is still there so I don't know how it would be related. So in response to kmanick, I can't lower the loop level, it ismodded to be at 100% all the time. But I guess the idea of overloading the loop makes sense if it is in effect acting as the 'send' level.

I keep mine at 10:00 or thereabouts.
