Been tracking guitars for my bands EP (real mic'd amp, no DI/amp sim). Had 2 sessions that worked out fine. Yesterday I show up, hook up and flip standby.....amp is MUCH quieter than it was the previous sessions. No knobs turned, amp wasn't moved, etc. Checked cables, tubes....was getting very frustrated. Then it dawned on me that my FX loop has been funny in the past, and had a significant volume drop when engaged. But I thought "How could the FX loop get switched when it needs the pedal to be switched?!?", as there is no button on the amp to switch. So luckily our other guitarist had a switch, hooked it up, and BAM! Problem solved. But as soon as I unplug the pedal, the amp goes quiet again.
I have no clue and am very stumped as to what the hell is going on here. Very, very strange. How could it get switched automatically?!??!!
