Came across this. I've never tried it this way. I always just twisted knobs until I hopefully found something I liked. I experimented with this method on my DSL1 and I like the tone. EQ settings especially are a good bit off from where I had them and the amp just sounds more balanced. Tones are all around 10 o'clock. Gain 9:30 Volume 3 o'clock. This is on the Ultra Channel. Tone and Deep switches both out. Pretty smoking with my Les Paul just by itself but i still have room to boost things a bit with a pedal. Some of y'all may do it this way. If not try it and see what y'all think.
