    Volume loss with fuzz pedal on?

    I recently got a Fulltone '69 fuzz pedal. I love the pedal...except that every time I kick it on there's a me to moderate volume loss, depending on the situation. Any idea what might be causing this?

    Re: Volume loss with fuzz pedal on?

    After the obvious cable check and insuring that there is no signal loss due to faulty cables then it's off to test the pedal time. And I have to be honest here as I'm not familiar with that pedal at all. However, when I have any issues with a pedal I always take it out of the chain so to speak and work with it as a single unit. I'll isolate it from any other pedals and see if it acts up on it's own. If not, then one at a time I'll test one pedal with the one I'm having issues with until I find (sometimes) which pedal combination is amiss. Some pedal circuits are just finicky and such. Some pedals react to another in strange ways too. You may find that it drops all on it's own, or in combination with one or more on your board too. And how they're lined up on the board have proven to cause drops or boosts and hums that can be relieved by moving them about in different series. Got a tremolo pedal that sounds great, but even alone with no other pedal present, when kicked in it'll boost the volume of the signal. And it's not just a subtle boost either, it's a genuine bump up in the sound. I cannot find further why it does this. Must simply be in it's circuitry but I'm not going to kill myself trying to dig into that p/c board. My eyes ain't that great anymore and my hands are no longer steady enough to work on it. I learned to live with it when I use it. I know this was not a great help, but testing it one at a time with others and alone may at least give you a possible clue. I hope...
    I forgot what I was going to say...

    Is the perceived volume loss when you're playing by yourself or with a band? Fuzz Faces will make you disappear in a band's mix. A setting that works at home will seldom work with a band. Crank up the pedal's contour and volume knob to compensate.

    I have an old one and the volume is set at noon and the fuzz is set full up. I'll check the bias a contour controls when I get home but I think the bias is at 3:00 and the contour is at 9:00.

    I have to crank the volume all the way to make the volume loss halfway acceptable. If I set the volume at noon you'd barely hear it. I'll play around with it in where it's at and if I'm still having problems I'll check in with Fulltone.

    That's not right. Like I said, I have the volume on my set at noon (with the fuzz all the way up) and it's just right, even with a band. Sometimes I'll nudge it close to 12:30 but that's all I've even needed.

    I'll call Fulltone then. I thought something was probably weird.

    Where's the internal trimpot set? I've got mine set about noon. Mine's an older big box so it might be different than a recent one.
