I watched the vids and something is definitely off. Either the pedal does not flat out play nice with the Herbert or maybe the V5 preamp tube is microphonic in the Herbert.
Have you tried any other fx in the Herbie loop like your reverb or eq pedals? Any issues with those pedals or do they sound normal?
Just plugging straight in (no loop engaged) your Herbert sounds fine. I'd honestly just recommend ditching the volume pedal with the Herbert altogether and just tweaking the channel volumes and global MV to get a useable tone. Also try backing off your channel bass pots to around 11:00 and the master deep pot to 10-11:00 as the Herbert has a lot of bass... a whole lot of bass and it kills off a lot of the tone at low volume settings. I'd keep your master presence at 3:00 where you have it set now though. The Herbert loop might just not like that pedal.
Are your tuned to standard 440 or dropped tuned on your guitar?
I appreciate your input. I have a fresh Ruby AC5 HG from valvequeen in the preamp V5. Further, my delay and reverb sound fine in my loop. I'll hook up my EQ to my loop to see if there is any issues. If you recall from a post I made here, I had issues placing the EQ in my loop on my VH4- i'd have a volume drop when the pedal is disengaged in the loop, and when I activate the pedal (with the volume and gain on the pedal at 0) there is a volume jump. I ordered an analogman buffer yesterday for the EQ pedal isues.
Just to clarify: I'm not having issues finding a good volume level with my Herbert in my small apartment. I'm just baffled as to why I can't crank the MV on my Herbert with the volume pedal, as opposed to my VH4 which works out pretty nicely.
