Not enough dirt with my DB4......

[Rockerfeller]

I played the whole gig with the amp cranked to 3'oclock on half power, with a Gold and a Tele, and I just couldn't get her dirty enough.  I just got the amp, and have spent a lot of time with it at home and on one other gig.  So I know the DB4 has plenty of crunchy dirt in her. 

But I got to the festival later than I hoped and had 15 minutes to get everything set up and do a line check.  I used my Greer Lightspeed OD to get me the dirt I needed and was fine for the gig.   But I thought "I shouldn't have to use a dirt pedal with the amp almost dimed!"

I talked to ILuvPunz about it today (we're in the same band, and I traded him my Remedy for the DB4)  He quickly told me "You were in the Low Input.  Try the Hi input."

Well, I know that!  I just didn't even think about it when I was plugging it in! 

How's that for knuckleheaded user error?
