I installed a vvr in my ots. All work , good sound in clean. But when in put overdrive on, Isn't the same sound before vvr. I put level and ratio to 10 and my clean channel is louder than overdrive.

How can i have the overdrive back again ?

Put vvr only in my power tube and install ppimv ?

May, i have did something wrong ?

Thanks

Based on my very limited reading on this I think you'd want it on the power section instead of V1 on these amps.

+1 on that. The voltages on the preamp section are very important on these D Style amps. I did alot of experimenting with voltages via my sag simulator and found that lowering the voltages on V1 and V2 had a dramatic effect on tone and gain, not just OD but overall gain

Overdrive is like peanut butter. Some like it crunchy, some like it creamy.
Bluesmaster 50 2x12 combo and some guitars.

Thanks for information. All I have to do is put the vvr on the power section and make a ppimv ? or the ots already have ppimv ?
