Hello folks,
Up until very recently I've always used my guitar volume knob as an on/off device. Whereabouts do you have it turned to for most of your playing and why?

Especially with normal or 'vintage' output pkups you can have your amp and/or drive pedal set really hot and with a slight twist of your guitar's volume control you can back off the extreme gain and clean up a bit for rhythm tone.
That's the old school way. Amp all the way up and use your volume control. This post has been edited by klasaine: Dec 10 2017, 11:46 PM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

QUOTE (bleez @ Dec 10 2017, 03:43 PM) I also kinda dig the Les Paul in the middle position with the bridge volume at 10 and the neck about 3-4... again, theres no theory on this, it just sounds kinds cool to me for some stuff. That's the beauty of the Gibson style of electronics. You can really balance between the two pickups. Not only does the tone change but the resistance/ohms of the pickups which in turn changes the 'feel' of the instrument. Different amps and effects react differently as well to the varying voltage input from the guitar and pickups.

Thanks folks and Darius, you are spot on with the "hard rules" thing, it's my engineering background

It's the one thing that playing through the AXE FX Ultra doesn't do that well. I believe Cliff improved the input section of the Axe Fx 2 in how it interacts with the guitar volume knob.
