Because the Mozart Rocks! gig is coming, I was working on a crunchy tone with enough gain to help me 'tie' notes but clean enough so it should respond accurately to finger picking and such techniques. Because of this, I got an idea to ask if you guys like working with the gain so that you may be able to get the best out of your lead tone, or you just crank it up to 10 so the walls are coming down ? Do you find it difficult to control a tone with less gain? Crank it to 11 - lean hard on the neck pickup, add a little reverb / delay to taste and hold no prisoners! That's coming from someone who loves the organic sound of a tube amplifier pushed hard though -------------------- The more I practice, the more I wish I had time to practice!

I prefer to set the amp in 7 and add a compressor/sustainer. I used the Route 66 Comp and it really worked for this. I could get a clean sound with a lot of sustain.

I tend to use volume knob a lot, and it depends on the song. For super clean, there is footswitch, but if a whole song is on overdrive, I tend to lower down volume when on verse, higher up on chorus and solos and so. Thing of routine.
