Are you going from your pedal to the effects loop in and the from the effects loop out to the input of your volume pedal?

There were several different fiddlers at the convention.
Do you know what year you are referring to?

We had:
Hoot Hester
Rob Hajacos
Tommy Williams
Dean Baxter
Janee' Keener
and a few others.

If you know the year, I can look it up (hopefully).

Frank is truly one of the most under rated players.
He plays better than I could ever dream of playing.

Plus, he is one of the GOOD guys.

Just wish he had learned how to build a decent steel. hehe

Roger,
For all my VHS to Digital transfers, I used Cyberlink Power Director.
I still have the program on my computer.
If you want to make a copy on a thumb drive and send it to me, I will be happy to increase the volume and send it back to you, no charge.

When I was selling strings, I made up custom sets.

I am now sending all my customers to Malcolm Kirby. He follows the same business model I used.

Give him a try.
