Hi. Have anyone tried boosting the Blackstar HT 40 drive channel? Meaning a gain boost. I used a Boss Dual Overdrive (green channel, gain almost zero, volume almost maxed [Previous error fixed]) to boost the Blackstar drive channel set with the gain between 2-3. This was the result:
1. On the Classic Crunch voice the sound disappeared..came back..disappeared...etc. Don't know ho else to describe it except that the amp couldn't cope.
2. It faired much better on other Saturated Lead voice setting. It did what I wanted, i.e., added more gain.
I've always read about guitarists boosting their already overdriven amps and was excited to try this but what a disappoinment! Then I read that these amps are actually hybrid amps - solid-state preamp with a tube to help it out and a tube power section. Could that be the cause or do I have a dud amp?
Can anyone who has this amp (or any Blackstar HT venue amps) please shed some light on this?
