Blender issue - advice?

[bakerster135]

So I recently picked up a Wounded Paw Blender V3 from here and loving it, perfect for my needs!

There is something quite strange that's happening though...When I'm using a channel with my distortion pedals in, I have to raise the volume on all of the pedals more than I usually would to keep them in unity volume with the clean signal (on the same channel with all pedals turned off).

This only seems to happen when the pedals are coming back through the "return" of the channel. I have plugged the amp lead into the output of the last pedal, being sent out through the "send" of the channel, and this works normally and the pedal volumes do not need to be adjusted...

Anyone know what's happening here!? Could it be something to do with the buffers?

N.b. It's definitely not a phase issue...

No idea - have you got in contact with Preston at Wounded Paw ? He's a very helpful chap.

I haven't, but will do now! It's not a huge issue, just perplexed is all! Thanks for the suggestion :-)

Hey man.
I cant remember that pedal dropping any volume out of my pedals :s but i usually ran the pedals maxed out and then used the channel volumes to set the balance between pedals.
The switches for parallel and series make a difference and the ones that do the bypass also made a difference to how the pedal worked.
Have you had a look at the instructions?
