I have recently tested some overdrives of mine to use on a new pedal board. After some trials I settled on the Palisades.
Oddly, the next time I came to experiment with the new board, I was getting a weird problem.
I was originally using a light overdrive on channel A about 20% gain. A little chunkier on the other channel. But when i came back, I plugged in, turned on, and it was much more distorted. I thought I must've accidentally messed up the settings, but no. All was the same.
I even turned the gain all the way down on channel A and couldn't get the chunk low enough for my taste. If I hadn't experienced it differently earlier, I would've just thought oh, this pedal just starts dirty. But I had found a great less distorted sound at about 20% gain. Then all of a sudden. 0% and too distorted. I tried running it with and without buffer, with no other pedals in the chain etc. No help.
Anyone experienced anything like this or know what might've happened? I was really excited to use the Palisades on my new board. But I've had to look in other directions. I'd like to understand what happened.
Thanks!
