I played mine tonight since I read this, ran the gain up into crunch with the Jackson dinky vol around 5 and experimented with that and using Soul Food as a clean boost.
Previously I thought I couldnt get kind of clean backing off guitar vol and then hitting it hard with guitar vol and / or Soul Food.
I am really digging mine.
running at a light crunch / od then hitting stacking that with the RAT with the tone kind of trebly when switching to some lead runs on the single coil neck pickup had me smiling.
