Using VCC/Satson/any other

[aviel]

Hey,
Would be glad to get some stuff cleared. just tried up the Satson, which is VCC like, more affordable i guess.

Anyway i looked at the manual and they say to put the Channel plug on each channel, and the Bus on each Bus. they state that pushing the faders up will end up sound more limited.

i might got it wrong, but if i have my guitar channel, i just put the plug, then EQ and everything? and when i push the fader up, i do get an ugly distortion, i think its because the faders are post insert arent they?

i think i might got all the concept wrong.. shall i put it after all the plugins on the channel? or before?

Think of it like a console.

Sometimes you go from the guitar, to amp, to cab, to mic, to preamp, to channel, to compressor, to eq... etc... othertimes you go the other way: guitar>amp>cab>mic>preamp>compressor>eq>channel

Put it wherever it sounds good!

Doesnt it create an extra gain stage that we dont hsve in consoles? you have two gains.. the prramp one and the the vcc one
