My band recently opened for SOIL (and man were they good live. Honor to play with them). A.J., their lead player, and I hung out and talked shop. He plays through a DR also, and I checked out his red channel settings and tried them out.
He runs
Bass 1 o'clock
Mids 2 o'clock (edit: I had 2:30, but I don't think it's quite that high).
Treble 10 o'clock
Presence 10 o'clock
gain 2 o'clock
I must say I like my tone (and his). I never would have thought to run the mids so high, but the mid control actually gives me a lot of top end, and it's not as harsh and grainy, not to mention the cut through is awesome.
Just thought I'd share these with the group.
