are there really no pedals with this?? i have this amp and cant get a high gain sound like that!!!

[gibson67v]

@locolegsharvey no pedals at all!!!

[powertothechord]

are you using any pedals or is that just tha amp it self?

[gibson67v]

Amp itself, I'm not a big fan of pedals anymore

@OriginalSteveneddy hey thanks for tips ~ cheers

[OriginalSteveneddy]

@FletcherHabit - Oh yeah - common problem with the Deluxe and Deville - I fix amps for a living and I would change R57 and R58 and make them 1 watt resistors, and R61 and R62, making them 2 watt resistors. Also have all of the solder joints on the tube PC board resoldered. I'll bet your are cracked. Also put a dab of clear silicone on the little orange and blue caps that kinda stick up on the main board - keeps them secure.

@OriginalSteveneddy Hey got my Deville fixed recently it was a blown resistor (r57)  apparently these are prone to malfunction as Fender used extra cheap resistors often

[OriginalSteveneddy]

@FletcherHabit - Try changing all of the tubes. I suggest Sovtek tubes myself. JJ's are too unreliable IMHO. Post back with your results.

[OriginalSteveneddy]

For high gain in this amp plug into the number one input - it is louder - and make sure there is a GOOD 12ax7 tube in position in position one and two.

@locolegsharvey that's because you have low output pickups, if you want to sound with high gain yo need maybe a dp102 dimarzio pickup...but actually i also own this amp and what i love is that smooth dist, if i would like to have a high gain dist i would buy a peavey tube amplifier.

[FletcherHabit]

Ever have any issues with low output/volume with this amp? mine only plays quietly now with a strange distorted tone even on clean channel. checked its not speakers or power/preamp tubes. .. i dont know whats wrong with the darned thing

[TheFunkycrisp]

if it doesnt go high gain enough for you try out a few different pedals like tube OD or Boutique OD will push the gain over the edge.or just run it clean and get a ice 9 OD .its the sound that Joe Satriani uses.

[TheFunkycrisp]

Fender makes a few types of these amps if you dont have the hot rod it wont go that hi gain .I own a 4x10 blues divelle tweed and a hot rod divelle 4x10.the gain channels are very different the non hot rod will only go up so high and the hotrod will go way higher.these amps will power a 4x12 cab with the stock 4x10s it is a very nice amp for the price

If you have to choose between les paul, sg & explorer. Which one will you choose?
