Ok When I have my electric going through my cry baby and ds-1 pedal (both turned off) I get a deeper sound than if I play it straight into the amp?

Any ideas why?

Cheers

does your cry baby have its own eq on it?
Bass guitar is the answer to everything

Sometimes even pedals being off can change the sound..or..are you absolutely sure your hearing something different.??
Electric Guitars are the inspiration for cries of "Turn that damn thing down"-Gibson website

English Enigma:
Those pedals aren't true by-pass. Putting anything that isn't true by-pass in the signal chain can degrade the sound (volume loss, loss of highs, added noise). You can either buy pedals that are true by-pass or get yourself a Tonebone Looper (www.tonebone.com). The looper is a by-pass. It takes the pedals out of the signal chain when they're not in use.
Good luck,
