Hey everyone,
I spend alot of time playing trough the OD channel of my Blackstar HT-20mkII.
Thing is, the amp has a "ton" of gain, I'd say the tone is fully saturated when the gain knob is at noon.
At the same time, I want to dial in a "low-gain" tone, and then I need to turn the gain knob almost all the way down. And the sweet spot is very, very sensitive. Just a tiny touch, and there's no volume, a hair more- and it's too much gain.
So I usually adjust my guitar's volume down, to clean up the sound. This makes the change over to clean channel too quiet... :/
As I guess the gain knob is "just" a potentiometer- could I send the amp to a tech, and change the potentiometer value? Or add a resistor in series? or something-
So that I get more "useable travel" from the knobs range.
Just a thought.
