MY current dilema would be with the volume pedal. I noticed that if I use guitar - volume pedal - amp (Hot Rod) connection, the clean sound looses some brightnes, higher tones get darker.

And if I connect guitar straight to amp and I put volume pedal in the Fx loop, the sound stays brighter.

How do you use volume pedals? Straight from guitar before other effects? Before the amp - last in chain? Fx loop?

The longstanding rule for volume pedals is.
To control gain use em between the guitar and amp.
To get violin like sounds use em in the effects loop.

Your volume pedal sounds like it needs a treble bleed mod.
