Where do you run levels on your Matrix amp?

[Tom Morris]

Just wondering where others run the level on the Matrix amp? I had read somewhere that 1 Oclock was the sweet spot. I have been running mine at 1:30 for months now. Other guitar player pissed my off at practice the other night with running his line 6 amp hot then using the volume pedal to turn down a bit till he gets to a lead section where I just want to ram a mic stand through his speakers. LOL Anyway I wound up turning the Matrix up to around 2:30 and wow did that seem to do something with the overall shall we say balls of the amp. Even backing the output of the AFX III off still felt a bit fuller warmer. So where do you run yours?

I guess I should have added that the question is more for people running FRFR cabinets but all comments welcome.

2 o’clock, more or less. There’s def. a sweet spot in that area.

I've always just maxed it and set the level with the axe front panel knobs. I do run into a traditional 2x12 though

I guess I should experiment with slightly lower levels on the matrix...
