...A couple of things here. First, I know, it's LOUD, but man does it sound good (this is my live rig). I use a Charvel San Dimas Pro Mod with the Seymour Duncan set (JB & '59) as my main axe, but usually don't mess with the settings if I happen to play a different guitar. It's a TC50 run through a Recto OS 4x12 cab. Everything in the rig is stock. Also, these settings "look" extreme, especially the Bass setting, but you really do have to ignore your eyes and trust your ears. I get caught up in that sometimes, "looking' at the settings rather that what sounds good. And I also tend to keep the gain down a bit as this monster has a ton of it. ScreamingDaisy on here has a great tag line in his signature regarding this. Anyways, I thought I'd throw in a setting of mine.
