I'm using a Delta Blues 1x15 clean channel only. I use a Blues Driver to obtain my gain tones, and switch that off for cleans. Obviously I'd like the amp to be as clean as possible as a foundation for the pedal as well as for it's own clean (think clean funk rhythm) sound.
One of the things I've noticed with the amp is that once I turn up past 2 it starts to get loud (and this is at gigs or rehearsal with a full band). 2 is too quiet, 3 is too loud kinda thing. So for laughs I dropped a 5963 in V1 to drop the gain a little. This seems to work in the sense that I have more control over the volume, I can run the amp around 4 or 5 and still have room either way before being too loud or too quiet. However I think the cleans are not as clean as I'd like them.
Am I approaching this the right way? Should I go with a tube with a little more gain, like say a 5751? Am I asking the impossible?
What say you knowledgeable folk?
Thanks!
