Recently saw the rig rundown with Neil Schon. He had three basic amp presets: cleanest, crunch, go nuclear, (or something like that, please don't quote me).
Here's the question...
A good band has great dynamics, they can go from whisper quiet to "blow the roof off" in the course of any given song. Given three presets, what amount of DB would you have separating them?
In my experience, I tend to set gain based on playing along to recordings that have good dynamics. But I'm just curious how others think about this...
Clean - Super touch sensitive. Should almost be the same gain level as "go nuclear". Use it carefully.
Crunch - Clean (playing softly) +6, by ear because the compression can fool you.
Go Nuclear - Crunch +6 - "Everyone needs to hear what I'm playing now!"
How do you think about such things?
