Hello!
An RG-16 in great condition came into my possession recently and I’m trying to set it up with the rest of my rig and results have been underwhelming at best..
The issue is that there is a severe difference in audio quality when going through the RG-16. (Way less gain, sounds like I have the tone knob all the way down, possibly a bit quieter than going straight in the preamp. )
Signal flows like this:
Guitar> RG16 front in>Back out>Buffer in>buffer out>Back In> Output>Engl e570 back input>Engl e570 Send>loop 5 In> loop 5 out> Engl e570 Return.
Nothing else connected on the RG16 Loops.
Have tried not using the buffer, same result with a bit more hum.
All cables are good, multimeter tested as per the posted guide here, <1 Ohm tip to tip and sleeve to sleeve, Infinite Tip to Sleeve.
Power is 12V DC, 1A Powersupply.
Am I doing something wrong here?
Grateful for any help, this is doing my head in.
Cheers,
K.
