Part of the problem is that if you run the guitar straight in or use only true bypass pedals, there is no gain stage before the preamp volume pot - the pot is a load on the guitar pickups.

I agree that not using the hi input is a bit of a shame as it's so fun, but it's simply not versatile enough for the music we play. If I was playing NWOBHM stuff Id be using the high input all the time.

I did worry for a while that it was sacrilegious but I simply preferred it that way.
That approach won't suit everyone - I recall vividly being round at Jonny Scaramanga's house and plugging into the low input on my amp and he gave me a look like I'd just walked dog shit in on his carpet lol
