Hi everyone...I've just got my Line 6 DM-4 from USA...I plugged it to my Fender twin reverb...I've tweaked some settings but I cannot get a fat decent distortion tone...only 'tube driver,TS808 & Colordrive' settings get me a good sound...all distortions especially MetalZone sounds extremely trebly and fuzzy no matter I tweak it on the pedal...could it be from the amp...cause I have preamp and master volume and I usually crank up the master volume leaving preamp volume to minimum...or is the pedal not that good as it seems???I live in Istanbul and I have a friend living in USA...I told him to order it from ebay and then he brought me the pedal...I get this pedal with so many recommendations and now I'm truly dissapointed...whats wrong guys I really need your help in this one thanks...

If your Twin had an FX loop, you'd be able to plug the modeler into the FX return, sending the signal straight to the power section, bypassing the preamp. That would be the ideal situation. Since you're forced to use that pedal into the input, the only way to get it to sound "less EQ'd" is to dial the modeler as warm as possible and bring it's gain control to one. Then EQ your amp to sound flat but good and start bringing up the gain on the Line 6. Try to create a balance of gain and tone between the unit and the amp.

Thank you GearJoneser I was hopeless about anyone replying....But how about volume settings...which one should I turn up amp preamp or master volume???or keep them all low and crank the DM-4s volume up or exactly opposite?also I have a push\pull master volume and should I use it pushed or pulled.when pulled it sound more powerfull and sound comes to front...I don't want any digitized and trebly sounding effects anymore that's why I replaced Marshall VS-100 with Fender Twin Reverb...and then everyone recommend me to get DM-4...My VS-100 distortion tones were far better and full sounding...I'm a bit dissapointed now and I need help...my cleans are awesome but I also want better distortion tones...What's wrong with my settings or is the pedal totally crap???Thanks in advance guys...
