The art of "Gain Staging". Generally speaking, when you add gain (level) sufficient to push an amp or effect circuit past it's "clean headroom" level, the circuit "compresses" - the output volume lowers. Different overdrive/distortion circuits work differently with different amps/effects depending upon the amp/effect circuit's available "clean headroom" in relation to the pedal's output. If you like the sound of a certain overdrive into a certain amp but want a volume boost when you kick in the overdrive, place a GAIN block AFTER the amp and tie the pedal and GAIN block to a single FS. You can also use the amp's CHANNEL VOLUME the same way. Be aware that the added volume boost after the amp will affect every effect downstream of the boost. You may need to place the boost farther down the signal chain to avoid that. The art of "Gain Staging". IOW - it's not a bug, it's just the way things work. Not every pedal sounds good with every amp.

It works! I was just able to connect and open it on both of my workstations.
