Months ago now I picked up this Bloomery Active to replace my Ernie Ball Jr because I HATE replacing strings on those things. It’s holding up really well. Still love the size. Great tool.
I’ve learned recently my Orange’s clean channel likes to be at around 4 or 5 to take dirt nicely. Honestly, for playing in a pretty enclosed space like my current room, that’s too loud. So I’ve been running this in my effects loop to tame the overall volume but still let my dirt and my clean channel get juice. I was just running volume after dirt with my clean channel at like 3. That wasn’t working well because the dirt wasn’t actually pushing the clean channel at those held back levels and my clean channel wasn’t even getting full output.
Figured I’d share this because I’ve had some people interested in how they can use FX Loops recently. I think my next step is an Attenuator. Just to try it out.
