First post, sorry if this has been addressed before but couldn't find it. Short background... My band plays covers with some originals (we're up to 11 so they're getting harder to sneak in). I've been using a HRDlx for the last year and it was fine most of the time. But we recently moved to a larger practice space and have been playing slightly larger venues. In our larger space our drummer has started letting loose so now we are all playing louder.
I started having to crank up the HRDlx volume and it suddenly started sounding really shrill and harsh, especially when I raise it off the floor to project. This is channel 1 (clean)... I don't use the other channels. Tried tweaking the amp eq, tone on the guitar, volume on the guitar, and can't get rid of the ice picks while keeping a good clear tone. I bought the HRDlx extension cab thinking that would help reground it with some bottom end, but the shrillness from the combo is still there. Maybe it was there the whole time but I never noticed because the amp was sitting on the floor. Anyone else have this issue? Any advice? I'm thinking maybe I just need to start over with a different amp but maybe I'm missing something?
