Well I don't really use pedals... only Boss GT-8 for delays... Settings are Body on about 1-2 o'clock, Detail on 3 o'clock, Mid Boost off, HDR, playing on Epi LP vintage output DiMarzios...
I used to have a garage made crap amp and a Peavey Classic 30 and none of them were prone to squeel like VM.
Also, when I used pedals in past (Boss OD-3, BD-2, and DS-1) the DS-1 was really prone to squeel the same way.
I know guitar can squeel when gain is too high, pickups are microphonic, but why is it it doesn't squeel with for example Peavey Classic 30, but rather has musical feedback?
By no means I want to say that I like Peavey more but in this one particular case it behaved better.
Every guitar squeels with my VM... I don't think all guitars I played through it had microphonic pickups...
I will try the thing with preamps valves...
