    My Mesa d180...

After some more experimenting I am finding the tone controls and volume2 all interact very strangely, if the volume is at around 7 the bass pot does very little, the mids control makes amp very quiet when turned right down.. If I...

    Effect chain order suggestions

    I have the Morley 20/20 afterwards- but that will affect the high and low frequencies.. my theory of putting the Morley power wah before is to have a more mellow wah effect - some sort of pedal order switching device could be of use here?? Could a Line selector work in this way?
