I recently went out and bought a bd-2 blues driver. I'm able to pull sound out the pedal at low volume settings on the amp, but when i turn the amp volume up the distortion seems to fade a little. The pedal is brand new so it works great, i think i might have the settings wrong to keep the same crunch sound. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Well i don't have a blues driver but i do use boss overdrive. The problem might not be with the pedal but rather with the amp, what i noticed was that as volume goes up the amp if you dont re adjust your pedal for the sound increase it wont function as well. also if you are using a line 6 for practice ( like me ) the line 6 hates pedals, it does everything in its power to ruin your day. my reommendation is to just plug it in and turn the volume to where you want it then adjust the pedal and play open e's until you find the crunh you want, then mark it on the pedal ohmy.gif if you use a permanent marking then MAKE SURE ITS RIGHT! then go back to lower volumes and see i it works, if not then readjust and mark again for lower. my suggestion is probably gunna get blamed though because i don't like going through details smile.gif

if you put it in the fx-loop try it in like guitar->bd2->amp instead.
