Customer says the Tight Clean and Fat Clean modes on Channel 1 are much lower volume than the Crunch mode. Looking at the schematic I'd say this is normal, as there is an extra gain stage for the Crunch mode. After said stage, there is only a 30% reduction voltage divider.
I really thought there was a problem when I got it as there IS quite a volume difference. However, I've checked just about every damn thing, including drawing out what relays are on for each mode, confirm continuity in all modes, tested tube voltages, some caps and resistors in-line with signal flow. Every SEEMS fine to me.
There is about 12v p-p at V3A grid on Crunch, and about 4v p-p on the 2 Clean settings.
Anyone have experience with this? I read on another forum someone saying that the series 1 versions had this and that it was inherent to the design.
