Single-coil pickups will evoke mildly overdriven sounds at settings somewhere
between 10 and 3o'clock. Try settings between 9and 1 o'clock for pickupswith high-
output humbuckers or active pickups. Bear in mind the Gain Boost function. You can

higher-gain Crunch sounds, your best bet is to turn the Treble Crunch knob down to
prevent the pickups and speakers from generating feedback (a setting in the 10-to -1
o'clockrangeisrecommended).
The Cleanand Crunch channelsare equipped with dedicated Treble knobs so you can
tweak the top end of each of the two channels separately to suit your taste and the
given sonic scenario. You will find that grittier tones generally sound better with a
touch less treble because preamp saturation makes higher frequencies figure more
prominently in the signal. Bear in mind that you also have the two Normal Bright (9)
and Ultra Bright (10) buttons at your disposalfor shaping the high frequency range. I
suggest you get into the habit of dialing in lower Treble settings. That way, you can
program various MIDI presets with one or both Bright options, remotely and have
plentyoftonalvariationsatyourfingertips.
