Xotic AC+ problems

Post by funkyeah! » Wed Jul 18, 2018 2:53 pm

Hey guys!

Wondering if anyone here has this pedal too. It’s the dual overdrive pedal and sounds great when my guitar knobs are all up.

The thing I don’t like about it is when I try to clean up by turning my guitar volume down, the tone becomes incredibly dull and it almost sounds like there’s an undercurrent sound of a a stiff and compressed distortion.

I’m using humbuckers but it does this with my tele too. It renders the pedal useless since I’ve become super interactive with the knobs.

Has anyone else had this issue, is there a fix, or is mine messed up?
Also, what’s a good dual overdrive in the transparent/bd2 vein?

That undercurrent sound can be described as a constant kind of low fffuhhh overtone. It’s terrible

After cross comparing guitars, my les paul is a little better but my semi hollow is the main guitar and has crappy pots. Time to upgrade them!
