This is my tweaked version of one of the Van Halen presets that's been circulating. Sounds awesome with my Custom Shop Strat and Bare Knuckle VHII pickup. However, I can't get sufficient cleanup by rolling back the volume knob (as in Hot For Teacher, etc.). Tried using modifiers on the Master Volume and Drive parameters but the tone would always get muddy and I couldn't get it clean enough. Ideally I should be using an alder (not mahogany) guitar which may be contributing a certain midrangey muddiness but I was wondering what else I could try to make this work. 1 Meg volume pot on my guitar? :?:
