Hi,

I recently bought a used DSL40CR, so far so good.

I play a guitar with EMG 81 setup that works normally perfectly and got no issues with another amp.

When I play in clean channel (grean), pot setting about 1/3, the amp gives to much distortion, it almost souns like clean channel red.

Guitar is in very conditions, best mechanical setup and the electronics has been checked as well.

All tubes of the amp are new and BIAS setting adjusted to 35mV.

I don't know what else to check, could it be a grounding issue?

The amp has a very low noise what I assume is absolutely normal.

I can't play clean with this seup.

Anyone an idea what can cause this issue?

Regards

Joerg
