| I have a Sesh 400. To me it seems that no knob on it sets like anything I've ever had. It has been a heck of a learning curve but yet there is something about it I like. I am slowly closing in on the tone I want. I am using a Straight Ahead amp. My question is, do others of you have to set your Master at near 3 oclock to get enough volume at a gig? (the Straight Ahead power amp is all the way up). |

Something’s wrong!
That rig ought to be blowing the back wall outta
anyplace you play it-I can’t imagine…
I’ve literally run my Sesh 400 on zero and my TB 202 halfway up
and it was plenty loud…
Check cables,VP,speaker connections,etc.
Good luck!

Something is wrong with the hook up wiring as Steve mentioned. I have a Sesh 400 and a Straight Ahead power amp and there is plenty of power to spare.

| The problem may have been in the cords. Gonna do away with the 90 degree George L ends and check with an ohm meter more often. Seems good at home with gain at about 9 oclock. I'll find out Saturday when I play out again. Thanks |

That is a 200W rms amp, that is a huge amount of power, as they said, just cracked it should be loud.

| I ohmed the George L cords & cut & reinstalled the ends on some of them & got rid of some 90’s. That helped a bunch but I still ended up with the gain near 12 o’clock on the Sesh at a gig. I admit the stage volume is pretty high. At home around 8 or 9 o’clock is probably enough. May still have something wrong but it’s way better. Running a Matchbox 60 right out of the guitar, a Dd3 & a Wet Reverb ahead of Sesh, Straight Ahead power amp, 15” Eminence Neo speaker. |

Try these settings. Keep the sensitivity about 9 1/2 to 10 and adjust master as needed.

I noticed your presence is about 2 o’clock. On mine I have treble and presence about 7 to 8 o’clock. Otherwise it’s piercing highs. |

| Thanks, I will try. Mr Hogan, your settings got me the closest to what I want. Will try both your suggestions. |

| I'm getting along pretty good with the Sesh. My gain is up around 12:00 though. That's pretty loud but we're playing some venues where we probably should be goin thru the PA. |
