TurnItUp Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Hi, I have recently bought an active Corvette but when putting it through my compressor and EQ pedals the sound suddenly distorts. I've tried turning down the input and output gains on both pedals and also the bass. The bass and pedals are fine when working separately. Any thoughts? Pics attached are of pedals and amp. Cheers.

Chiliwailer Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Is there any difference when you swap the pedal position in the chain? It could be the comp doesn't like the extra oomph given from the active signal and the EQ boost you have set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lurksalot Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 It sounds like the signal is to hot so the compressor is trying too hard and not coping , you will probably need to re-set the input signal to a more manageable level . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurnItUp Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 The EQ on its own works fine. Won't having the EQ running before the compressor just boost the signal going into it even more? When we're talking about resetting the input signal, do you mean on the bass itself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
