Hell of a thread title but I'm sitting at work thinking about this. It seems to me that having a drive block as well as the input drive going is incredible for high-gain lead tones, but is a little bit too much for rhythm stuff (running way less mids in the amp can mitigate this somewhat) as it tends to lose a certain kind of responsiveness especially in palm-muted notes. For anyone who has dialed in some great rhythm tones using only the input drive on the amp or only a drive block, what's your experience (if any) with either of these methods? I realise use cases differ, everyone has different tastes, it depends on the amp, etc etc.
