TH30C - Dirty channel, low gain
Posted: Mon Apr 01, 2019 6:28 pm
Hi,
I just purchased a TH30C combo amp. It really rocks, which is great.
Forgive the newbie question, but this is my first tube amp. When I'm on the dirty channel, if I turn the gain control counter-clockwise, the sound not only cleans up, but the volume drops quite a bit. As measured with a sound level meter, I'm seeing about a 20 decibel drop between having the gain at 2:00 versus 9:00.
Is this normal?
Thanks,
Steve
