Hello GMC-ers!

I have a Digitech RP255 multiefect which I use for practicing and rehearsals. It has built in possibilities to combine pedals, effects, amps etc.
The first thing that I'm having problem with is the sound at rehearsal. When I plug it in into the amp the tone i very lound even if the knob is turned to1. On 2 or higher it is really too loud. The apm is a 100W fender devile. I don't know if the output sgnal is to high and if this can damage the amp? Should I use only the pedal effect and leave the amp modeling out?

The second thing is that I as soon the cymbals kick in my sound completely disappears. I know theat the guitar is a ''middle'' instrument and I really push the middle high up 6-7, the bas is around 0-1 and the treble 0. I also decreased the gain but still I get eaten up somehow and can't hear anything I'm playing. This is really getting frustrating because I just can't solve ti.
So, any advice would be great! biggrin.gif

BR,

Denis

If you are using an amp you should try turning off the amp modeling on the digitech. You should have a overall volume adjucment on the unit right? Set it to a normal level (somewhere in the middle I guess). Regarding bass middle treble, you should start with having all 3 of them in neutral (flat position - 5). Increase mids to cut through the mix better but you should not be lacking in other frequencies as well. And if your sound completely dissappears when playing in a room with a drummer, maybe you want to incriease the volume of your amp a bit to better match the drums.
