Well, I've had my LSC 1x12 for about 2 months now and all my gigs so far have inlcuded backlines, so I haven't had a chance to road test it until last Saturday night.
Although I use some pretty clean tones, I had Channel 1 set up at 100W with the Gain at about 3:00. I find that this is still clean enough for R&B stuff, but it gives my just a little edge so that it doesn't sound sterile. I used this channel for the first several songs and it sounded sweet and creamy!!! When I had to kick in CHannel 2 for a heavier tone, although I thought I had balanced the two channels, it was WAY too soft. I had to lower the volume on Channel 1 and boost the Output and Solo controls. Once I did that, it was screaming with Drive at about 1:00 and Gain at about 3:00. I was getting beautiful, controllabe sustained feedback and I was in heaven! I also use my Boss OD pedal to add some crunch to both channels when I need it. This basically gives me 4 levels of distortion which makes my sound very versatile.
So, the first gig was a great success and I can't wait to use it some more.
The one thing I need to do is to set up my Boss Delay through the effects loop, because having it in front of the amp, when using Channel 2 boosted, the effect was too strong, but when I backed it down, it was too light on the clean setting.
