hi guys,
I want to understand how you would set/use your guitar volume when playing???? also how do you setup your amp, using the bass/treble/ mid controls for best tone, thanks for your help,

When playing, I keep my guitar's volume up on 10 - no point in it being anywhere else.
Between songs, getting the next piece of music on the stand etc, I turn it down to 0 - that way there's no chance of extraneous noise.
My electric guitar work is done with a proper Big Band - treble up on 80% to give a nice clear top end, bass up on 40% to give some body, and the mids on 50-60% so I can be heard in the mix.

hi guys,
many thanks for the above posts, lots of advice for me to try,i am sure i can get my amp tone sounding better now,
all the best, bluesfloyd.
I set up my amp with the guitar's volume at seven or so, that way I can get more gain with the twist of a finger. For Gibson-style guitars, I set the amp up with the neck pickup in mind for lead. For Strats, I set the amp up for pos. 2 (neck & middle).
As for how I set the amp's tone controls, that pretty much depends on what sort of sound I want, as well as the room I'm playing in.
