For one thing the cleans aren't that good. And another, why do I have to turn the Master volume on clean channel almost all the way up to match my stage volume with the other 2 dirty channels?

The other guitarist in my band plays a JSX and the crystal clear cleans on that amp balance pretty well with my cleans for a nice mix.
I too have always wondered why i need to crank the volume on the clean channel to match the other channels though.

Really?! That's a great bit of information to know! In fact, I find myself loving the tone for a nice chimey clean with the presence dimed, so that makes some sense. I love the cleans on my TR. Obviously it's going to be very difficult to replicate Fender cleans, but accepting that, I've found some stuff in there that I really like.

This inevitably will impact the clean tone. When I bought my DR used somebody had retubed with a set of JJ 6V6's. The clean tone was drastically improved over the stock 6L6's.
