Howdy folks. Hope everyone had fun chasing rabbits this weekend.

I have a Musicman Stingray guitar that I like to run through a Guyatone
Tube Overdrive pedal. The Stingray has active electronics. When I
run it into the overdrive pedal and I have the bright switch on the
guitar turned on I have level problems. It seems that the last quarter
turn of the guitar's volume knob actually causes the volume to go down
instead of continuing to go up. This only happens with the bright
switch. Why is this happening? Can I do anything about it?

Other details: The tube overdrive pedal is based on a 12AX7. It is well
built with a true internal power supply as opposed to something with a
wall wart. While it has good headroom on most guitars, the Stingray
can saturate it.

So what's going on here? Is it some loading problem? Should I measure
for something on the output of the guitar?

Thanks for your help.
