[QUOTE="EL Vedermunch, post: 8748, member: 807"] Hey Scooter, Thanks for the reply. :D Thing of it is, I get a lot of the nasty "shhhhhhh" sound even on the red (rhythm) channel, and that channel *isn't* extremely hot. On my head, with the gain cranked ALL the way up, and boost pulled out, the red channel (SS channel) sounds a bit like a JCM 800 *without* a distortion pedal in front -- it's kinda hot, but definitely not the super high-gain solid-state crunch that I remember hearing years ago out of a solid-state RG100. With any guitar I try (USA-made Jacksons, Deans, Washburns, etc.), my red channel seems much less distorted and punchy than that (and doesn?t even really sound much like the solid-state V2 clip Randall has up on its site). Then, on the tube channel, I have to turn up the gain to at least the 3'oclock position in order to get a nice saturated distortion. It sounds good there, but holy crap, is it noisy. While you may not think much of the NS-2 (I just bought it yesterday, so I'm not partial to it one way or the other), it should do *something* in the loop. But it's not doing anything at all there -- doesn't even sound like it's turned on. It only cuts the buzz (not the ?snow?) when I put it in front of the amp. Something?s just not right about that. How do you have your V2's effects loop set -- serial mode? At what levels? I want to try coppying your settings as closely as possible and see if I can get the NS-2 to do *something* in the loop. I'm starting to wonder if I have a defective head... -G [/QUOTE]
