Thank you everybody for the great advice.
I have tried everything-I even did the tweeter mod (not impressed) and am using my BBE 482i.
I have many, many guitars, all with different pickups, etc. for the most part from Les Pauls to Jackson's to BC Rich's.
Problem is that no matter what I do, it always sounds like I have my tone knob rolled back 60%.
Also, every time I move an effect, it momentarily makes a distorted sound.
Are these things normal?
Thanks.
