A slightly misunderstood Solid State Amp

[atf]

I bought a Hughes & Kettner Edition Blue 60 DFX like a year ago and I loved the clean channel. In fact I even used it for live gigs, clean headroom wasn't a problem. But the Lead channel was always frustrating. It was always muddy sounding, and thats what caused me to stop using this amp for gigs altogether.

Until recently that is when I accidentally discovered that in order to get a nice lead tone, blues to modern hard rock, The MASTER Volume and LEAD Channel Volume must be the same.

Maybe I'm stupid but no other amp I own with a master control was that frustrating. Well my problems are solved and the Lead channel sounds like a thicker vox ice 9 pedal. This amp sings! Just wanted to share

Re: A slightly misunderstood Solid State Amp

They're great little amps. I love my Blue 60R. I also never use the hi-gain channel. But the clean channel responds well to OD's and various distortion pedals. The CD/Aux input on the back is a nice touch too.
