Drive Block "Mix" level?

Just out of curiosity, where is everyone setting their "mix" level on a drive block in front of a clean or medium gain amp (like the Bassman)...I've been fiddling with it either 50% or up all the way to 100%...just wondering what others here are doing?
 
Most of the time 100%.

Sometimes, if a little more "clear" attack is needed, I lower it around 90%. To taste.
 
100% seems logical. 50% if you want to emulate a Sparkle Drive (Voodoo Lab).
Then again some users prefer 80% to give it some air.
 
On a drive block I add mix to taste, for me that could be anywhere from 70-100% depending on the amp sim beeing used.
 
I'm setting mine with a range of 75% to 100%, depending on the amp sim
and what I'm going for. One of my "go to" settings to get a natural OD
sound, blending pick attack and clean tones.
 
I set mine 50 to a 100 depends on what I'm going for. If I just want a bit of a boost and I want to keep it clean I'll set it lower. If I'm going for a full gain sound obviously higher. Sometimes setting it lower let's you retain more of the amp character imo.
