Hi, I have an rumble 15 amp. I plug my laptop to the aux and play some drums on youtube. I like to practice that way. But I have noticed that the volume of the aux channel drops when I start playing. Also if I turn on the overdrive pedal, the volume really lowers. Is this normal and why? thank you

First of all you are asking a lot of 15 watts. The fact that it hasn't burst into flames is a testament to Fender Rumble's hardiness. I tend to think you are bumping up against the limiter of the Delta-Comp Limiter, and that is what is lowering your volume and at the same time saving your amp from destruction. So yes, this is normal.
