I've been experimenting with my new Egnater Mod 50 with the T/D and SL modules. For a high gain overdrive, I tried my MI Audio Crunch Box in front of the amp and found that it only sounded good in front of the T/D module. When I used the Crunch Box in front of either channel of the SL module, the overdrive became very squishy when playing low notes. It was bad to the point that the low notes almost seemed to fizzle and static out when I was playing fast leads. I thought something might be wrong with the pedal, but I confirmed that it sounded great in front of both channels of the T/D module. What's weird is that both channels of the SL module sound great on their own with no overdrive pedal in front of them. The problem is that I need a modern high gain sound to go along with the vintage modules in this amp. I always that it would be best to overdrive the SL module because I read good things about people using distortion pedals in front of Plexi amps, which this module emulates.
Has anyone else experienced this issue? The Crunch Box is supposed to sound like a boosted Marshall. Is there some weird frequency cancellation thing going on when using the Crunch Box in front of the SL module?
Thanks!
