Well, I believe it's subjective. The clean volume in my HT-40 worked like you just said but I found out that once the clean starts to break up the volume barely increases, it just gets dirtier. While in the overdrive channel it increases til the end. So, setting both volumes at 12 o'clock the clean side will be louder but if you turn them to max then the overdrive channel will probably be louder.steve15366 wrote:My Clean volume needs to be set lower than my overdrive channel, but I have experienced this with other valve amps too.
it does'nt really present a problem, i wonder if it's delibrate?
Anyway you're definitely right, it isn't a problem.
