"true bypass" add a clean tube phase(like a tube screamer with low gain) that reduces volume when not activate.Anyone else have this problem?

I've found it's just a matter of getting the levels of both pedals just right. I run a Tubescreamer into the VT999 and don't have any problems, BUT there's a very fine line in getting the levels balanced out right. I'd get those levels tweaked in and add a drop of nail polish on the knobs and pedal so you always know where they should be.

Hey JulioI have not had this problem that you describe. My unit runs really clean in true bypass. As a matter of fact I use 2 of these together. And have never encountered any phasing or noise problems

What M. Olsen said. The Gain and Master Volume are going to add "volume" (Gain, loudness) to the signal chain. So there will be a noticeable difference between the two especially if you like the way your amp responds to overdriving the amp's preamp tube with the Master control. You could increase the gain and lower the Volume setting on the pedal but you'll be getting your distortion from the pedal's preamp tube, not the amp's. You might like it, might not.

Volume depends on how you set it in your different pedals and what you want to accomplish. In my case I wanted this pedal to work with others but not looking for a True Bypass. Oh, I changed the tubes because theres was a drop in volume but the pedal was by itself. Now I don't have that problem. And, you have to let the tube settle in. Good luck!

I don't know what is particularly wrong with your left speaker. I can just admit, that the cheep Fostex PM0.4n has no protection against overloading, as for example the expensive Genelec has... Sometime, I wish to play my Fostex PM0.4n louder, but I can't. They start clipping making noticeable clicking sound.

I have the 4gig and it does it too. The trick to fix that worked for me is shown on UTube, although it is annoying to have to do it all the time. Just look for Zen White screeen of Death on U-Tube. I found it hard to accurately understand how to do it without watching this video.It seems to also help to have the player in standard play mode before turning off, or I might be imagining things.

Well, there is some minor fuzz that should, by most accounts, be expected with this and other tube amps. If the static noise you are experiencing is severe, you may have a defective unit, I suppose. My Vali has only a small amount of fuzz that, to me, is worth the sweet warm sound I get from a tube amp.

Greetings: I am using this inline with my ignition wire to cut out engine noise to the amplifier. It worked a little and only after I turned the gain down on my amp did all the noise go away. That's all I know about the operation of this product.

The lead side had a pre gain and a post gain..either can be used as a volume control... If unwanted a dirty sound..turn up the pre gain and turn down the post gain... For a clean sound, reverse it.. The boost knob is great..it works regardless of what channel ur in.. Get the footswitch..the button on the right controls the boost...i think its labeled effects.. Good luck!

It's also quite possible that the Volume Pot is not the correct one or is defective and could be why you have to turn it up so high. Was the sound ever distorted? Or was it clean? If you did overdrive the output you might have gotten distortion. But if the sound was clean but low in volume, then it might be the Volume control , preamp setting or output amp.

I had the same issue when I first got mine. You actually end up pushing the lever like 5 or six times. The "spurts" they are talking about - you will definitely hear the difference. They should really use a different word other than "spurts" but i don't even know what that could be. Let me just warn you the noise you're listening for is very loud & different than the "fizz" noise you hear during your first few pushes.

Follow up: After several months my V3 devloped an termittant pulsing noise in the left channel. I worked with a technician in China to try and get rid if the noise. Not successful. I purchased a second one with the same results. Finally got a Fiio e7K DAC/Neadphone amp on Amazon and I'm now very happy.

I returned the amp it went into protection mode.... My advice go with hifonics ju

It bypasses the all sliders. Eq and volume. When off it's as if the stomp box isn't there.

try changing your center channel speaker to large(in the settings) i had my center channel on small and i had the sub level at +7,after i changed the center from small to large...WOW,i now have the sub level at 0 and it actually sounds better.....

Never had that issue. I did remove mine because of the sound.Just sounded really bad.Anybody wanna buy it for $100 ?

My experience with his booster has been very positive. It pretty much solved my problem (which was similar to yours). The trick is to put it as far upstream as possible... where the signal strength is adequate (can't boost a signal that isn't there). It sounds like you have a good enough signal coming in, being the other TVs are getting a solid picture. I'm guessing the "problem" TV is at the end of a long run. You might be splitting things up too much, so the signal strength is dropping below the muting point. .. this amp should solve that. Good, solid product.

I had the same problem with mine. Went through 3 sets in a week and after a week and a half the amp went up in smoke. Exchanged it for a massive audio n4 and couldn't be happier.

I use the cry baby classic, but I do not use a volume pedal, use the nova system boost

With a stock 12AX7 preamp tube it starts pushing into overdrive at about 1/3 of a turn. I have replaced mine with a groove tube 12AU7 and it is clean for 3/4 of the gain/volume control.I highly recommend this amp... just try a few tube types or a Jet City Retrovalve to see all that this amp can do.
