So last gig we did our singer said to me half way through the set that I sounded really muddy with no top end - I bumped the treble up a bit and thought no more of it.
Tonights gig its very evident that when any signal goes through the pedal board ALL the top end and sparkle goes out of my tone. In the break I went through the board as quick as I could trying to isolate a duff patch or if a particular pedal was to blame but nothing made any difference, if the signal went through any pedal on my board it sounds like someone has put a thick blanket over my amp. Gotta get this sorted but tomorrow night as we have a wedding!
Really appreciate any help from those in the know on these things

Modfactor and el capistan have their own power supply. Pedal order is wah, tuner, spark boost, LGW, rat, modfactor, ElCap.
All into the front of the amp
But as I said - I tried to run everything individually to see where the problem might be. I thought it might be the car from the board to the amp as when I used that on its own I thought I could detect a bit of a loss of top, but swapping that out didn't make any difference - what I don't understand is that this has only happened since the inclusion of the modfactor but even when you take that out there's still a problem

I'll have to strip it all off the board today and go through it all - typical though, Saturdays - kids to swimming - kids to football - have to ice a cake and get prepped for my oldests birthday party tomorrow, got a mates 40th birthday tea at 4pm (at his mums! Rock and roll !!!) then gig set up at 6pm - better get on with it
Isn't the boss tuner a buffer?

Bear in mind though - this isn't a new board - it's been fine for a good while - all I've done is put the modfactor in
I hope it's not a patch as I made them all myself out of the best bits I could find as I was fed up with shit cables.

Straight to amp
Through board
