Hi Joey,
Thanks for the info. Interesting.
It is a possibility that its the footswitch (this is a replacement one, my first died) but the power only shuts off in a gig setting and usually after its been used for a while - 2nd or 3rd set.
I have been pretty happy with the sound of the amp and I usually mike it to get out into the crowd. The versitility in the sounds and having consistent settings makes like easy. I also like the combination of weight/price/size. Maybe the places you play are a lot bigger than what we play?
Here are typical settings on a patch - this one is one of my harder rock patches:
OCompressor set to boost the volume by +7-9db with a threshold of -10 (not extreme).
On output levels I have the guitar set to 75% - or less - and I often play with my guitars at 70%-80% of max volume. Overall volume 40-50%.
Screamer stomp with a drive of 60%, gain of 25%, tone 64%.
My amp is set to 1192 Brit Gain J-900 Dist. Drive 63%, Bass 75%, mid 82%, treble 72%, presence 38%, volume 51%.
No EQ and optional chorus, and delay, off by default.
